Russian offensive crushed by Ukrainian defense troops in Donetsk Oblast

Ukrainian fighters from the 79th Separate Air Assault Brigade have repelled a massive Russian assault in Donetsk Oblast.

This time, the Russians attempted to breach Ukrainian defenses by deploying 19 military vehicles, including tanks. The Ukrainian paratroopers reported that near the village of Kostyantynivka on the Kurakhiv front, the occupiers launched an assault with 11 armored vehicles with infantry, supported by eight tanks.

However, the Russian convoy was detected and immediately targeted by Ukrainian forces. To strike the Russians’ vehicles and infantry, Ukrainian defenders used artillery, attack drones, and drone-dropped munitions.

Due to the coordinated combat efforts and strong resistance from the paratroopers of the Tavriya Brigade, four tanks and two armored vehicles with the Russian military were destroyed.

“Twenty-three occupiers were killed in this attack. Another twenty-three were wounded. After suffering heavy losses, the surviving enemy vehicles began to retreat,” wrote the 79th Brigade.

Ukrainian Defense Forces have been holding their positions and repelling massive Russian assaults on the Kurakhiv front in the Donetsk Oblast for some extended time. The occupiers have been using armored vehicles and large numbers of infantry to attack the Ukrainian military and settlements, as per Militarnyi.

Despite these offensives, Ukrainian defenders continue destroying significant amounts of Russian equipment in fierce battles.
