Reactive fire system calculations of the “Tornado” have eliminated a group of Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) that was advancing to evacuate injured saboteurs on the border with the Russian Federation. This was stated in a statement by the Russian Ministry of Defense in their Telegram channel.
It is noted that the overall losses of Ukrainian troops amounted to more than 50 people.
The defense department assured that control over the settlement has now been fully restored, and the area where the sabotage and reconnaissance group (SRG) was blockaded has been cleared.
During the night and morning of March 12, Russian regions were subjected to a massive attack by Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles and missiles. Drones were shot down in the Moscow, Leningrad, Belgorod, Bryansk, Voronezh, Kursk, Tula, Oryol regions, as well as in Nizhny Novgorod. Against the backdrop of the air attack, war correspondents reported an attempt by saboteurs to break through with a fight from Ukraine to the Belgorod and Kursk regions. More details can be found in the material on “Gazeta.Ru”.
