Details
According to the military, the enemy tried to implement a complex offensive plan using armored vehicles and several groups of infantry.
The attack on Kostiantynivka from 4 directions failed. Soldiers of the 28th mechanized brigade, together with their neighbors, repelled a combined assault.
As noted, to divert attention, the Russians launched two "stitched" tanks from the Toretsk side, while the main forces advanced in three groups.
The first moved in the Ivanopillia area, the second rode motorcycles along the highway to Pokrovsk, and the third was supposed to move near the railway.
However, Ukrainian defenders quickly uncovered the enemy's plan and stopped the offensive.
As a result of the battle, one tank and at least eight occupiers were destroyed, and another was taken prisoner.
