North of Pokrovsk, in active frontline conditions, a Russian sabotage group launched a sudden raid on a Ukrainian observation post, capturing four Ukrainian infantry soldiers during a high-risk field operation. Drone operators of the 🇺🇦 25th Airborne Brigade reacted immediately, using real-time drone observation and an aerial battlefield view to strike the attackers, destroying most of the group and breaking the assault. Their rapid response and heightened situational awareness created a critical window that allowed the captured Ukrainian soldiers to escape — a rare frontline report and war documentation that also serves as a stark conflict zone update from this sector.
