Soldiers of the 28th Mechanized Brigade named after the Knights of the Winter Campaign of the Ukrainian Ground Forces say they have established drone control over the Russian-occupied city of Horlivka in the Donetsk region.

According to Ukrinform, the brigade said this in a Facebook post.

"Knight pilots have taken Horlivka under control," the post said.

Operators from the Spalakh unmanned systems battalion of the 28th Brigade said they are increasingly striking Russian logistics in the rear.

"Trucks, cars, quad bikes – everything that enters the temporarily occupied Horlivka burns there," the brigade said.
