Paratroopers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to successfully defend the country. In the Vovchansk sector, one of the soldiers of the 71st separate hunting brigade of the Air Assault Forces destroyed a Russian MT-LB armoured vehicle (motorbike) with a grenade launcher, the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on Telegram.

The battle for the building
After an accurate strike, the surviving occupants abandoned their armoured vehicles and tried to storm the building defended by the Ukrainian paratroopers. However, the rangers called for reinforcements and engaged in a fierce battle that lasted about three hours.

With the support of an assault team from a friendly unit, the building was successfully cleared. As a result of the operation, six Russian soldiers were captured.
