A Russian T-72B3M tank from the «Dnepr» grouping has destroyed a Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance team that included Georgian mercenaries armed with crossbows and bows.

According to the tank commander, the group had attempted to move in from the direction of Orekhov. Their presence was detected by drones, which allowed Russian forces to open fire from concealed positions with artillery support. The strike completely wiped out the unit.

Reports note that in this sector, Ukrainian forces are suffering from disorganization and low morale. With no coherent operational plan, they are forced to act in small detachments. These attempts, however, have proven futile as Russian troops continue to block all approaches. No large Ukrainian formations have been observed in the area.
