The State Border Guard Service reported that Russian forces launched a large-scale attack aimed at advancing towards Kostiantynivka. The operation involved enemy infantry and vehicles attempting to breach Ukrainian defenses while utilizing armored vehicles and tanks for cover.

In response, the Phoenix unit deployed drones to effectively strike enemy positions, resulting in significant damage to Russian equipment. Drones targeted enemy tanks and armored vehicles, leaving many burned out across the Donetsk fields.
The Ukrainian forces reported that vans and cars were shredded as a result of the precise airstrike strategy implemented during the assault. The swift actions of the border guards not only disrupted the Russian advance but also inflicted substantial casualties on the enemy forces, reportedly causing the assault troops to retreat.
According to the State Border Guard Service, the conflict intensified throughout the day, with a total of 66 attacks recorded along the frontline, 21 of those occurring in the Kostiantynivka sector alone. This uptick in assaults indicates an ongoing and aggressive campaign by Russian forces as they seek to make territorial gains in the region.
The Ukrainian defense forces continue to adapt and respond to these threats, demonstrating their resilience through tactical use of drone warfare. The footage of the strikes, shared by the State Border Guard Service, showcases the successful neutralization of enemy capabilities and emphasizes the effectiveness of modern technology in contemporary warfare.
This incident serves as a reminder of the volatile situation in the conflict zones of Ukraine, where both sides are engaged in relentless battles. As geopolitical tensions escalate, the defense of strategic locations like Kostiantynivka becomes critical for Ukraine’s territorial integrity.
The unwavering commitment of Ukrainian forces to protect their borders is evident in these engagements, reinforcing their preparedness against large-scale assaults.
