"In the area defended by a combined arms army, motorized rifle units thwarted a counterattack by assault teams from the 115th Mechanized Brigade near Sinkovka. The adversary had to retreat southwest; enemy losses in this direction totaled a manpower company," said Zybinsky. 

A Krab self-propelled gun was destroyed near the settlement of Krinichki and a Furiya reconnaissance drone was shot down near Kolomichikha, the spokesman added.
