According to the soldiers, a successful operation occurred near the village of Robotyne in the Zaporizhzhia region in February 2024.
The press service of the 65th AFU Separate Mechanized Brigade says that an enemy assault group advanced to storm Ukrainian positions near Robotyne.
However, Ukrainian air reconnaissance and artillery could stop the enemy's military assault.
The enemy retreated with losses, leaving its dead soldiers on the battlefield, the fighters emphasise.
In addition, the 65th AFU Separate Mechanized Brigade press service published a video showing a group of Russian infantry preparing to storm Ukrainian positions.
A reconnaissance drone of Ukrainian defenders responsible for maintaining the front line in the area could record enemy forces' movement as they tried to break out of their trenches.
Immediately after that, Ukrainian artillery and mortars promptly opened fire on the Russian occupiers, forcing them to seek shelter.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian drone operators deftly targeted Russian infantry, even as some of them tried to hide among two previously knocked-out enemy tanks.
