The crews of unmanned systems of the 70th Motorized Rifle Division of the 'Southern' group of forces disrupted the evacuation efforts of Ukrainian forces, the Ministry of Defense reported.

'During aerial reconnaissance, an armored vehicle standing on the road was discovered, preparing to evacuate personnel. The enemy planned to move to the rear area, but thanks to the vigilance of the scouts, the armored vehicle was detected in time,' the ministry explained, as reported by RIA Novosti.

The target coordinates were transmitted to FPV drone operators, who destroyed the vehicle.

In addition, the military eliminated a Ukrainian quad bike. Simultaneously, units of the sixth motorized rifle division stopped two attempts by Ukrainian forces to rotate near Kostiantynivka, destroying two vehicles with personnel.

As the newspaper VZGLYAD reported earlier, Russian military eliminated two Ukrainian drone control centers in the Kostiantynivka direction.
