In the Donetsk and Kherson directions, servicemen with the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine over the past day destroyed five self-propelled howitzers, a multiple rocket launch system, and a radar of the S-400 anti-aircraft missile complex.

That’s according to the Navy press service, Ukrinform reports.

"On September 7, in the Donetsk and Kherson directions, Navy’s Marine units, acting in groupings of troops, steadfastly and courageously repelled Russian occupiers on the fortified areas along the front line," the Navy said.

Having inflicted fire damage on enemy positions, the Marines engaged two enemy main battle tanks, an MLR system, five Msta-S self-propelled howitzers, two launchers and a radar station as part of an S-400 anti-aircraft missile complex.

Enemy losses are being further verified, the report adds.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, Russia’s military death toll in Ukraine since February 24 as of September 8, has reached 51,250. The invasion forces lost 2,112 tanks, 4,557 armored combat vehicles, 1,126 artillery systems, and scores of other equipment.
