Ukrainian forces repel Russian mechanized assault in Orikhiv sector

According to Ukrinform, the brigade wrote this in a Facebook post, accompanied by a corresponding video.

Thanks to the coordinated efforts of all units within the brigade, Ukrainian forces destroyed a tank, four buggies, and four motorcycles. Additionally, an infantry fighting vehicle and an armored combat vehicle were damaged during the Russian attempt to break through.

“All the equipment used in the offensive was left, to put it mildly, out of action. During three hours of another failed enemy offensive, the soldiers from the 118th Brigade eliminated 16 Russians and wounded another 10,” the brigade said.

As Ukrinform previously reported, soldiers from the 3rd Special Purpose Brigade named after Colonel Petro Bolbochan—known as “Spartan”—of the National Guard of Ukraine destroyed a Russian platoon and halted an enemy assault in the Pokrovsk sector.
