As we dug deeper beyond the line of combat contact, we discovered actively working engineering equipment - anti-tank ditches were being prepared and "dragon's teeth" were being installed, and they were being delivered,» reported sapper-operator with the call sign Moreman.A Lancet loitering munition was precisely struck on target.
Objective monitoring from ZALA Z-16 recorded a direct hit and the destruction of Ukrainian Armed Forces equipment, which halted the enemy’s further construction of fortifications in this sector.
