Ukrainian forces neutralize Russian command post near Avdiivka — video

The strike neutralized the Russian unit’s headquarters which had been engaged in combat with the brigade within the Avdiivka sector, the report said. A D-30 howitzer used by the Russians to target Ukrainian positions and equipment was destroyed in Adviivka.

Scouts from the Unmanned Aerial Systems Battalion discovered the command post. Once the target was confirmed, fighters from the 2nd Artillery Battery “Martial Family” of the 2nd Artillery Battalion executed the destruction with powerful artillery strikes of 152 mm caliber, the report said.

The Russian forces are currently attacking in small infantry groups, and the loss of the battalion command is expected to demoralize soldiers and disrupt the coordination of Russian actions, the brigade said.

The brigade anticipates enhanced defense capabilities and the potential for counterattacks against Russian forces near Avdiivka.
