Russian invaders eliminated after being spotted taking photos in Zelenyi Hai

Russian troops advancing near the administrative border between Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts faced a swift setback after entering the operational zone of Ukraine’s special forces unit "Bratstvo," part of the Defense Intelligence’s Timur unit.

“The occupiers found themselves in the zone of responsibility of the Bratstvo special unit within the Timur unit of Ukraine’s military intelligence — so their media ‘triumph’ was short-lived,” the HUR stated.

Earlier, on July 16, the military monitoring platform DeepState reported that Russian forces were “moving intensively” through forested areas, villages, and front-line positions along this sector.

According to the report, the entire front line from Oleksiivka to Novopil is under constant pressure from Russian troops. The invading army continues to rely heavily on mass infantry assaults, despite suffering heavy losses, in an attempt to break Ukrainian defenses and seize more territory in Donetsk Oblast.
