Soldiers of the 79th Air Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are destroying Russian invaders on the approaches to Myrnohrad in the Donetsk region, as the enemy continues attempts to bypass the city from the north and encircle Ukrainian units.

The brigade released a relevant video on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

"Fighters of the 79th Separate Tavrian Air Assault Brigade of the 7th Rapid Response Corps continue to conduct search-and-strike operations in Myrnohrad and its outskirts," the statement reads.

The military noted that Russian forces persist in trying to outflank the city from the north in order to encircle Ukrainian Armed Forces units.

Thanks to coordinated actions by aerial reconnaissance and strike units, the enemy is mostly detected and neutralized in advance – on the approaches to the city, the brigade said.

"The enemy continues to use the tactic of small infantry groups – this is the only way the occupiers can achieve any advancement at all, but it critically exhausts Russian manpower," the statement said.

Attempts to break through into the city using armored vehicles were also recorded. However, they were quickly detected and destroyed, the brigade said.
