A unit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Air Assault Troops detected an area where Russian occupying forces had concentrated personnel and military vehicles in the direction of the Oleksandrivka district of the Donetsk region and carried out missile strikes on the site. Information and footage of the operation were released by the command of the Air Assault Troops. The strikes targeted Russian soldiers and equipment gathered near one of the settlements under occupation. As seen in the released footage, after the first strike Russian servicemen attempted to flee, abandoning their damaged vehicles. However, a series of precise follow-up strikes prevented them from escaping. As a result of the successful operation, at least 10 soldiers of the occupying Russian army were eliminated, along with two military vehicles. In addition, three quad bikes used to transport personnel and military supplies to the area were destroyed. The operation thwarted another attempt by the occupying forces to advance.
