Fighters of the UAV reconnaissance-and-strike groups of the "Hart" border brigade detected and struck an artillery battery in the Russian rear that was providing cover for enemy infantry during assaults on the Ukrainian border in Kharkiv region.

According to Ukrinform, the State Border Guard Service stated this on its website and released a video of the combat operation.

"During assaults in the South Slobozhanshchyna sector, enemy infantry operates under the cover of artillery. Therefore, detecting enemy guns is just as important a task as destroying the infantrymen who are trying to break through the state border of Ukraine in the north of Kharkiv region," the statement said.

Drone operators detected the location of a fire platoon of the enemy artillery battery 23 kilometers deep in the Russian rear.
