Ukrainian forces launched another counterattack in the Kupiansk direction this morning, but suffered heavy losses. The Russian "Close Combat" Telegram channel has released a video showing Russian drone operators destroying Ukrainian equipment and personnel.
Russian sources stated that between 5:00 and 7:00 this morning, the Western Military District's 20th Guards Combined Arms Army discovered movement of Ukrainian equipment and personnel in areas such as Karpovo, Srednye, Shandrigolovo, and Derylovo. They immediately used FPV drones, artillery, and other firepower to attack. Some footage of attacks on moving Ukrainian targets was captured by Russian drones and then published online by Russian field journalists. In today's attacks, the Russians destroyed 8 Ukrainian vehicles, including 2 MaxxPro armored vehicles, 2 M113 armored personnel carriers, 1 Humvee, 1 pickup truck, and 2 other vehicles, and killed 113 Ukrainian soldiers. After verifying the Ukrainian counterattack forces, it was found to be the 3rd Independent Assault Brigade of Azov. This time, the Russians were very happy, as they eliminated an entire company of the well-known nationalist armed group that the Ukrainians had recruited, which is undoubtedly a significant victory.
