Four Russian soldiers seize AFU stronghold and repel all Ukrainian's attacks, Kurakhovo direction

Storming soldiers of the 242nd Regiment, 20th Motorised Rifle Brigade (Yug Group of Forces) with support of UAV teams got under control an important AFU stronghold and held defence for seven days.

'We were ordered to seize a hostile stronghold. We didn’t know, if the enemy was there. We got there in silence, didn’t engage any target. The AFU militants were at the entrance to the stronghold. Then we eliminated the enemy, consolidated, and kept the stronghold under control. Three men attacked during the first night. We managed to deal with it. In the afternoon, they employed materiel. We destroyed a Bradley infantry fighting vehicle by an anti-tank mine and maimed the personnel. There was a report that there was a two-men group approaching from the treeline, when we neutralised five hostile soldiers. We let them approach us and engaged them from the dugout. There were four of us. We held the defence as long as we could,' said a serviceman with the call sign 'Moroz'

UAV teams supported the assault detachment. The drones were delivering batteries for walkie-talkies, food supplies, and water; providing information on enemy's manpower and hardware moves, and helping to repel attacks of the AFU.

The brave assault detachment enabled to hold the bridgehead supporting further advance of Russian troops and assault detachments.
