Video: Ukrainian Armed Forces Destroyed a Rare Target at Donetsk Airport
Soldiers of the 28th Separate Mechanized Brigade, named after the Knights of the Winter Campaign, successfully destroyed a rare enemy target in the Donetsk region.
Ukrainian defenders managed to detect and completely destroy a vehicle that Russian occupiers had converted into a mobile launch platform for kamikaze drones.
This is the first time such enemy equipment has been destroyed in this sector since the start of the full-scale invasion.
Russian troops regularly use civilian or specialized vehicles for rapid movement and the prompt launch of attack drones.
This time, fighters from the Knight Brigade tracked down such a camouflaged vehicle directly in the area of the temporarily occupied Donetsk Airport.
A precise and rapid strike by artillery or attack drones from the Syrets direction left the enemy vehicle with no chance of survival.
For a long time, the occupiers have been using the airport ruins as a staging ground to launch regular strikes against settlements under Ukrainian control.
The destruction of this mobile platform will help reduce the frequency of barraging munitions in this sector of the front. Ukrainian forces continue their round-the-clock hunt for similar targets to minimize aerial threats.
This was reported on the Facebook page of the 28th Separate Mechanized Brigade named after the Knights of the Winter Campaign.
Russia attacked Kyiv with ballistic missiles on the evening of June 25
On the night of June 25, Russia carried out a large-scale air attack on Ukraine, using a ballistic missile and dozens of attack drones. Air defense forces destroyed or intercepted most of the targets, but a missile and several drones were confirmed to have struck their targets.
Starting in the evening of June 24, Russian troops carried out nearly 20 attacks on five districts in the Dnipropetrovsk region, using drones, artillery, and a guided aerial bomb. The shelling resulted in damage to infrastructure.
On June 25, rescue workers extinguished a fire at an industrial facility in the Poltava region that was caused by a Russian attack. Emergency responders continued their work after the facility was struck by enemy weapons.
