Soldiers of the 46th Separate Airmobile Podillia Brigade of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine repelled a massive assault by Russian invaders in the Pokrovsk sector of the front, destroying one tank and two armored vehicles.

According to Ukrinform, the brigade released a video of the operation.

“Pokrovsk fornt. Hell instead of a breakthrough: the 46th Separate Airmobile Brigade thwarted a massive assault by the occupiers,” the post reads.

In the brigade’s area of responsibility, Russian forces once again attempted assault operations using armored vehicles and several dozen infantry troops.

“The enemy tried to attack our brigade’s positions, deploying up to four armored vehicles. The outcome proved disappointing for the Russian invaders,” the servicemen said.
