The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation published footage of the combat work of the reconnaissance group of the Novorossiysk paratroopers to clear the positions of Ukrainian troops. The video is available on the official Telegram channel of the department.
The commentary on the footage states that during the active defense near the settlements of Rabotino and Verbovo in the direction of Zaporozhye, the reconnaissance unit was destroyed by formations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The enemy tried to hold a strong point after an unsuccessful attempt to attack the Russian positions.
After the artillery preparation, the paratroopers quietly approached the hidden gunmen and attacked them from several directions. And then they cleared the occupied fixed point.
The department clarified that Air Force fighters had taken trophies in the form of Western-made ammunition and small arms and anchored in enemy positions.
