As the military spokesman published on Wednesday on Telegram, the group was discovered and attacked, and five enemy soldiers were eliminated as a consequence of the operational actions of the Russian forces.

Gordeyev added that in the same direction, Russian troops also detected and destroyed a self-propelled howitzer of the Ukrainian army near the town of Orekhov.

Also, in the south of the Donetsk People’s Republic, an attempt to conduct reconnaissance by an attack was frustrated near the advanced positions of the Eastern group, the spokesman said.

In that direction, the Russian forces managed to eliminate two reconnaissance groups.
