Fighters from "The Rock" announced that they had cleared Kostyantynivka of occupiers
Soldiers of the 425th Separate Assault Regiment “Skelya” reported that they had cleared Kostiantynivka, in the Donetsk region, of Russian troops. After the operation was completed, Ukrainian defenders raised the national flag over the city. The regiment emphasized that Kostiantynivka is under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The 425th Separate Assault Regiment “Skelya” reported on the operation. The soldiers posted a video of the operation on their Facebook page. According to the soldiers, the unit cleared Kostiantynivka of Russian occupiers. Afterward, the Ukrainian flag was raised over the city as a symbol that the town is under the control of Ukrainian defenders.
The regiment noted that “the town is under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.” Along with the announcement, the military released a video showing footage of the operation and the moment the national flag was raised.
At this time, the regiment has not disclosed any further details regarding the course of the mop-up operation or enemy casualties. No additional official information regarding this operation has yet been released by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Kostiantynivka remains one of the key cities in the Donetsk region where active combat operations are ongoing. Russian troops regularly attempt to break through Ukrainian defenses in this sector, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to repel the attacks and hold their positions. The regiment reported this on Facebook and posted a video documenting the event.
The Pechersky District Court of Kyiv imposed a pretrial detention measure on a serviceman from the “Skelya” regiment who is suspected of assaulting a military chaplain and a lieutenant colonel in the Kharkiv region. He was remanded in custody until September 7 without the right to bail.
Additional details have emerged regarding the incident involving a drone attack on a Belarusian bus in the Bryansk region, which is yet another provocation by Russian special services against Ukraine.
The SBU intercepted a Russian document refuting the claim that the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the Belarusian bus.
Belarus has claimed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were involved in the attack on the bus in the Bryansk region.
