SSO fighters captured 9 Russian occupiers

Operators of the 144th Special Operations Forces Center (SOF) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully conducted an operation that resulted in the capture of nine Russian servicemen in the Pokrovskoye direction. They also liberated an industrial building from the enemy, where the occupiers were located.

For several days, UAV operators actively worked with the enemy, trying to give him a chance to live. Using a loudspeaker mounted on the drone, Ukrainian special forces appealed to Russian soldiers to surrender. However, despite the offer, the enemy refused to surrender.

After that, Group 144 of the SSO Center went behind enemy lines, mined the building where the Russians were hiding, and blew it up.

A powerful explosion convinced the occupiers that their resistance was pointless. Russian servicemen, waving a white rag through a damaged window, expressed their willingness to surrender.

Soon, two groups of four and five people, including the wounded, headed towards Ukrainian positions. The special forces provided the prisoners with first aid and organized their evacuation.
