The article discusses a recent military engagement in the Velyka Novosilka direction in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. Russian forces launched a large-scale attack on Ukrainian positions near the town of Velyka Novosilka, aiming to expand their control along the elevated positions northwest of the town and support their broader offensive toward the border of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
However, the article reports that Ukrainian forces successfully defended against the Russian assault. Ukrainian drones were used to detect and eliminate Russian troops, including those attempting to use motorcycles as a tactic to evade detection.
