The combat operation of the 3rd Brigade, during which soldiers of the 1st and 2nd assault battalions stopped an attempt to break through the front line and cleared Krasnohorivka of enemy forces. The video footage was shot on GoPro cameras of the raid participants.

The day before, the occupiers had managed to advance in a certain area of the settlement and begin to set up defenses. It was necessary to act quickly to dislodge the enemy and prevent them from gaining a foothold. Soldiers of the Third Assault Brigade were sent to this difficult area.

"We were assigned this task at 2 am and in the morning we left," recalls Estet recalls, the commander of the assault platoon "Myron" of the 1st assault company, 2nd assault battalion.

After entering the city, the brigade's units went on the offensive. The soldiers began clearing building after building, while the enemy desperately defended themselves. From the intercepted conversations of the enemy, it became clear that the occupiers were doing badly. However, the Russians held on with all their might. The occupiers ignored the offer to surrender and make an exchange.

"Their skills were not at a high level. But the level of resilience and motivation was good. Even when they were surrounded, although they had no opportunity to retreat or run away, because they would have been killed immediately, they still fought and fought back. It cost us some effort to destroy them," mate Darvin sais, deputy company commander, and the acting commander of the 3rd assault company of the 1st assault battalion.

Small arms battles took place among the damaged and completely destroyed private sector houses. Sometimes it was extremely difficult to reach the occupants. To eliminate the enemy, the soldiers used grenades and FPV drones.

The video captures the moment of first aid to the wounded and their quick evacuation by M113. Thanks to the prompt actions of the soldiers, all of their combat brothers who were wounded in action were saved.

"It is always difficult to conduct operations without reconnaissance, preliminary combat orders in new areas. This is a very large amount of work that was done as quickly as possible, which did not allow the enemy to gain a stronger foothold, establish logistics, bring supplies to their side, and connect their forces at this bridgehead with their main forces. Due to the speed of events and assault actions, we were able to nip their breakthrough attempt in the bud," Darwin stated.

As a result of the Third Assault Brigade's lightning-fast operation, Krasnohorivka remained under the Ukrainian flag. The bridgehead for breaking through the front line was destroyed along with the enemy's manpower.
