In Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, Ukrainian defenders used drones to destroy a 2S9 Nona-S self-propelled artillery unit, which Russian paratroopers planned to use to support further assault operations in the direction of Hryshyne.

According to Ukrinform, the 7th Rapid Response Corps of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this on Facebook.

The Russians placed the self-propelled artillery unit in one of the uninhabited buildings in the private sector of the western part of the city.

To destroy the enemy target, the Defense Forces' unmanned systems units used FPV drones.

“They skillfully made their way into the uninhabited building and destroyed the equipment with several strikes, choosing the most vulnerable spot,” the corps said.
