Despite sustaining multiple shrapnel wounds and suffering from chemical exposure that caused intermittent loss of consciousness, the operative continued to resist. Eventually, holding the position became impossible due to his condition.
A decision was made to extract the wounded fighter. In the midst of active FPV drone activity, an evacuation team managed to break through enemy fire, retrieve the soldier, and transport him to a stabilization point.
"Thanks to the coordinated actions as well as high professionalism of the special forces, the position was not only held, but the enemy was pushed back," the statement reads.
