On the Pokrovsk front, Ukrainian airborne troops successfully repelled a Russian assault using FPV drones. The attack involved a tank and an armored vehicle operating under the cover of a powerful electronic warfare (EW) system.

This was reported by the Khortytsia Operational-Strategic Group of Troops via Telegram, which also released video footage of the engagement, as per Ukrinform.

The Russian forces attempted to storm the Ukrainian defensive positions using a tank and armored vehicle. Despite the enemy's electronic warfare interference, Ukrainian drone operators managed to halt the assault and then destroy the enemy vehicles.

"Crew members from the Perun Group of the Airborne Assault Brigade's strike drone unit destroyed the enemy's tank and MT-LB armored vehicle, which attempted to attack under EW cover," the statement from Khortytsia said.
