The tanks have been captured in addition to an air defense missile system of an undisclosed type and an armored repair and recovery vehicle, Operational Command Pivnich reported on Facebook.

This is the highest number reported so far of enemy tanks captured by Ukrainian forces as trophy in a single combat engagement. By way of comparison, Ukrainian military have gotten their hands on 70x enemy tanks they had taken as trophy from the Russians over two weeks of war.
The air defense missile system captured is presumably the Tor SAM system (NATO reporting name SA-15 Gauntlet), as can be suggested based on open-source reports on that same day that this precise type of air defense missile system had been taken by Ukrainian forces operating outside of Chernihiv.
