"A group of fighters from the 225th Separate Assault Regiment counterattacked and recaptured positions previously occupied by the enemy. After that, our soldiers were targeted with an FPV drone and a dropped device containing an unknown poisonous substance. The fighters managed to leave the dugout in time and move to another position," the military stated.

The 225th Separate Assault Regiment reported that the incident was documented, and all available evidence was transferred to the competent authorities for inclusion among other Russian war crimes.
