"Enemy forces under the cover of artillery carried out several long-term attacks of Ukrainian defenders," the report said.
So, the troops of the border unit worked on the enemy with small arms, mortars and grenade drops from UAVs. In addition, fire support was provided by the means of command of the Defense Forces in this direction.
Ukrainian defenders destroyed 12 occupiers, about 17 more Russian soldiers were injured.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, British intelligence said that the Ukrainian military maintains positions in Soledar, Donetsk Region and is gradually approaching Kreminna, Luhansk Region.
