The Armed Forces of Russia have announced that they have eliminated over 150 Ukrainian servicemen in the South Donetsk direction in the area of the special operation zone. The statement was made by Alexander Gordeev, the head of the press center of the “Vostok” group, and was published by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
According to Gordeev, the Russian Armed Forces carried out airstrikes, artillery attacks, and used flamethrower systems against the gathering places of soldiers from the 72nd Mechanized Brigade, the 128th Territorial Defense Brigade, as well as units of the National Guard of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Staromayorsk and Ugledar. Enemy strongholds were also targeted.
It is noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine not only lost 150 soldiers but also a BMP, an armored combat vehicle, a “Gvozdika” self-propelled artillery unit, two D-20 howitzers, and four vehicles. Additionally, a Ukrainian ammunition depot was destroyed as a result of the Russian strike.
Earlier, it was reported that Russian troops had struck the positions of elite Ukrainian military units in the Kharkiv region.
