According to the brigade, Ukrainian drone operators first detected the camouflaged artillery piece despite efforts to hide it from aerial surveillance.
The rapid identification of the target allowed Ukrainian forces to quickly organize a multi-stage attack before the howitzer could be relocated or used against frontline positions.
The operation began with a drone dropping an explosive munition onto the gun's position, igniting the area and exposing the concealed emplacement. At nearly the same time, supporting units from the Third Army Corps targeted the artillery crew, disrupting any attempt to continue operating or evacuating the weapon.
With the crew neutralized and the position compromised, Ukrainian forces proceeded to destroy the howitzer itself. Precision artillery fire and follow-up strikes from attack drones delivered direct hits, leaving the weapon completely disabled.
