Ukrainian defenders once again demonstrated their precision and effectiveness on the battlefield. This time, the 225th Separate Assault Regiment carried out a powerful strike on a concentration of russian troops. The video of the destruction was shared by the Black Swan Battalion on its Telegram channel.
The released footage shows a missile hitting a half-ruined building where russian assault troops had taken cover. The explosion instantly turned the enemy's shelter into rubble, virtually leveling the structure to the ground. As a result, a significant group of russian infantry preparing for offensive actions was eliminated.

According to Ukrainian servicemen, the building was actively used by the enemy as a staging point. Russian troops stockpiled ammunition and food there, with supplies being delivered by drones to sustain their assault units. However, precise reconnaissance and accurate targeting enabled Ukrainian forces to strike the position before the enemy could carry out its attack.
A key factor in this operation was the use of the HIMARS high-precision rocket system. Its deployment ensured guaranteed destruction of the target and once again highlighted the vital role Western weaponry plays in Ukraine's defense against russian aggression. For the invaders, the strike became yet another reminder of the vulnerability of even seemingly secure positions.
As Ukrainian soldiers noted, the occupiers' plans for an assault were instantly shattered.
"The russians gather in the building, drones drop them ammo and food. But after the HIMARS strike, their plans change, instead of storming our positions, they storm the gates of hell," the defenders commented with biting irony.
As Defense Express previously reported, Ukraine's Defense Intelligence has released new footage showcasing the results of another week of combat operations carried out by its special forces. The video highlights the destructive precision of drone operators and artillery, who continue to deliver heavy blows against russian forces along the front line.
The Department of Active Operations has become well known for its skilled use of FPV drones. In the latest strike compilation, one russian soldier, exhausted by relentless pursuit, was forced to crawl through bushes in a desperate attempt to escape, only to meet his end at the hands of Ukrainian operators.
