Quote: "The Russians decided to take advantage of the thick fog on the Kostiantynivka front. Under its cover, they tried to break into Kostiantynivka and its outskirts. The occupiers pulled in significant manpower, hoping for a surprise attack. It didn't work.

Our reconnaissance units detected the enemy movement in time, and the brigade's fighters delivered a fierce response. The fog became a trap for the Russians themselves – they couldn't see where the fire was coming from, while we worked precisely and accurately."

Details: The brigade reported that the Russians suffered heavy losses as a result of the engagement. Some Russian groups retreated, while others remained in the fields. Several pieces of Russian equipment were damaged.

Ukrainian troops confirmed that Kostiantynivka remains under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
