The sabotage and reconnaissance group of the russian occupiers once again tried to break through the border in the Sumy Region on February 3. After the battle, the invaders were pushed back far from the border.
Serhii Naiev, commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, told about this in the Telegram channel.
"In the Sumy axis, the soldiers of the Territorial Defense Forces, defending the Northern Operational Zone, stopped another attempt by an enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group to cross the state border of Ukraine," he said.
On February 3, at 6:20 p.m., on the approaches to Hlukhiv community, the soldiers of one of the strongholds noticed the movement of an armed group consisting of ten people. Ukrainian fighters immediately started a shooting battle and called up anti-sabotage reserves from their battalion.
"In just a few minutes, mortarmen joined the battle, densely covering with fire the place where the enemy forces were concentrated," Naiev said.
Having suffered losses, the enemy changed tactics, dividing into two groups.
"One of which, under the cover of its artillery, carried out the evacuation of the bodies of the killed and wounded. The second group made an attempt to bypass the stronghold from the side flank. But by this time, a counter-sabotage group had arrived at the battle site. The victorious battle lasted for an hour and a half," he stated, adding that the enemy was pushed far beyond the border.
We will remind you that the sabotage and reconnaissance groups of the occupiers became active in the Sumy and Kharkiv Regions.
