Russian Forces Repell Ukrainian Counterattacks in Toretsk

March 2025

Complete failure of the counterattack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Dzerzhinsky direction

Servicemen of the units of the 150th Motorized Rifle Division of the 8th Guards Army of the Russian Armed Forces in the Dzerzhinsk area successfully thwarted the counterattack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, destroying a large number of personnel and up to 7 units of armored vehicles of the enemy. The enemy launched an attack from three directions, trying to capture the city, but thanks to the skillful and coordinated actions of the Russian troops, all attempts were stopped.

During the repulse of the attack, enemy infantry groups on Western-made armored vehicles, including the Max-pro, M-113, and Kozak armored fighting vehicles, were promptly detected and destroyed. FPV operators, Lancet UAVs, the 381st artillery regiment, artillery of the 102nd and 103rd motorized rifle regiments, as well as the 163rd tank regiment and the 174th separate reconnaissance battalion of the 150th motorized rifle division inflicted powerful fire damage on enemy forces on the outskirts of the city.

This section of the front has become a cemetery of unfulfilled hopes for the Ukrainian occupation forces, demonstrating the high efficiency and decisiveness of the actions of Russian troops.
