The Ukrainian National Guard’s 18th Brigade has successfully repelled a Russian attack on the city of Chasov Yar in eastern Donetsk region. The assault, launched at dawn, involved more than twenty armoured combat vehicles and a significant number of Russian troops. Ukrainian artillery and drone strikes quickly halted the offensive, destroying ten Russian vehicles and inflicting heavy losses on enemy personnel.
The surviving Russian troops attempted to take cover near a railway line and in partially destroyed houses, but they were swiftly located and eliminated by Ukrainian drone units. The attack on Chasov Yar is part of ongoing Russian efforts to gain ground in Donetsk, but Ukrainian forces continue to repel these offensives with precise and effective countermeasures.
Chasov Yar is of strategic importance due to its location near Bakhmut, where intense battles have taken place for months. Ukrainian forces have been using advanced drone technology and artillery to counter Russian attacks, causing severe losses for the invaders. The 18th Brigade’s ability to neutralise the latest assault highlights the effectiveness of Ukraine’s defensive operations and the resilience of its troops in holding key positions.
