Russian forces have conducted a combined arms strike on Ukrainian positions in the Zaporizhzhia region. Drone operators from the 'Vostok' group identified Ukrainian personnel stationed in residential and agricultural buildings in a small settlement. The coordinates were relayed to T-80BV tank crews, which moved into firing positions and delivered precise strikes on the targets. The Russian military claims the operation destroyed the encampments and eliminated the stationed troops, disrupting Ukrainian plans to amass reserves in the area.
