Near Pokrovsk, drones aided in the rescue of Ukrainian soldiers from Russian captivity.
This was reported by the 7th Rapid Reaction Corps of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine via Telegram.
Four soldiers were captured by a Russian reconnaissance and sabotage group during an assault on a observation post.
Subsequently, an aerial reconnaissance unit patrolling the area spotted the Russian group accompanying the Ukrainian fighters.
In response, attack drones from the 25th Separate Airborne Sicheslav Brigade, the 68th Separate Jaeger Brigade named after Oleksa Dovbush, and other adjacent units were quickly deployed.
The swarm of FPV drones disoriented the invaders and diverted their attention, allowing the Ukrainian soldiers to escape captivity.
Meanwhile, Russian troops attempted to hide in bushes and trenches, but over 10 Ukrainian strike drones targeted the group within minutes.
As a result, the personnel of the Russians was eliminated.
The Ukrainian defense forces successfully repelled the assault by Russian invaders in Hryshyne in Donetsk region.
