Fighters from the Hart border brigade thwarted an attempt by the Russian army to break through their positions on the Ukrainian state border in the Kharkiv region.

This was reported by the State Border Service, according to Ukrinform.

As noted, in recent days, groups of Russian infantry, supported by artillery and drones, have been trying to capture the forward positions of “Hart” and advance deeper into Ukraine.

Presumably, the invaders are looking for directions where they can expand the areas of active combat operations.

Aerial reconnaissance detected the movement and accumulation of enemy forces for attacks in a timely manner. Russian infantry was comprehensively struck with all available means of destruction.

“The occupiers' attempt to break through the state border was blocked, the enemy was unsuccessful and retreated,” the State Border Service reported.
