The Ukrainian Defense Forces have thwarted an attempt by the Russian invaders to break through on motorcycles in the Toretsk sector of the front.

According to Ukrinform, the press service of the Khyzhak (Predator) Combined Brigade under the Ukrainian Patrol Police Department reported this on Facebook.

"A dozen motorcycles with paratroopers — another enemy attempt to break through. The Defense Forces respond with gunfire. FPV drones and Khyzhak’s aerial munitions are also in action," the statement reads.

The military noted that they first destroyed the motorcycles and then their "passengers". Those who managed to reach the nearby tree lines are not expected to last long there.
