A massive Russian assault in the Zaporizhzhia axis was crushed by the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade — over 300 troops and 40+ vehicles, including tanks and IFVs, advanced but were spotted early by Ukrainian drones.
Artillery and UAV strikes began 8km out, followed by fierce resistance from infantry using small arms and mortars. After a two-hour battle, 29 enemy vehicles and around 140 troops were destroyed. Not a single Ukrainian position was lost.
