“Taking advantage of bad weather conditions, the enemy attempted to move, but reconnaissance means have discovered a convoy of up to ten armored vehicles. Artillery units attacked them and destroyed two armored vehicles,” Gordeyev wrote on Telegram.

The spokesman also noted that a Buk air defense system shot down an enemy Mi-8 helicopter, near the Temirovka settlement in the Zaporizhzhia area, which attempted to deliver an air strike on the positions of Russian troops.

“Meanwhile, in south Donetsk, the Osa-AKM surface-to-air missile system shot down a Leleka unmanned aerial vehicle.

As part of counter-battery efforts, a Penicillin system was used to detect and destroy an enemy howitzer, near the Dobrovolye settlement,” Gordeyev noted.
