Operators from the 3rd Regiment of Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces (SOF) successfully eliminated nearly an entire Russian platoon during a raid on an industrial complex in Donetsk region.

The SOF Command reported this on Facebook, seen by Ukrinform.

"Only one enemy soldier managed to survive – the operators forced him to surrender. He provided valuable information about enemy troop concentrations and ammunition depots, which were destroyed the same day," the statement reads.

When the Russian infantry seized the industrial complex, the command of one of the units of the 3rd Special Operations Regiment planned and sent subgroups to carry out special operations both at the site and around the perimeter of the industrial zone.

The drone operators were the first to act. Using drops and FPV strikes, the SOF fighters entered the industrial zone in armored Humvees and cleared all the buildings.
