The unit released footage of the operation on Facebook, showing Ukrainian special forces conducting an ambush against Russian troops operating behind enemy lines.
Before carrying out the attack, Ukrainian operators reportedly crossed Russian minefields undetected and infiltrated deep into enemy-held territory.
Over the following several days, the special forces personnel conducted reconnaissance, gathering intelligence and identifying potential targets for subsequent strikes.
During the mission, Ukrainian operators spotted Russian soldiers traveling in a vehicle and opened fire on the car using small arms. The ambush resulted in the deaths of Russian military personnel and the destruction of their vehicle, according to the unit.
Following the engagement, Ukrainian special forces searched the vehicle and recovered equipment used for unmanned aerial vehicles, radio communication devices, and weapons.
The captured materials also included mobile phones, combat orders, detailed movement routes, and lists of Russian military personnel.
