The latest battle reports indicate that several Russian formations were decimated following the timely use of cluster munitions by Ukrainian operators.
The action took place in the environs of the eastern town of Krasnohorivka, where a local coalmine became the main axis of attack for the aggressors. This proved to be a fatal miscalculation, as Russian troops were forced to move across almost 1,000mts of open terrain from the nearest cover to the mine’s grounds.
Operating from the cover of a tree line, Ukrainians could fire at will on the approach route, meaning anything that moved out in the open was immediately targeted for annihilation.
The skirmish culminated with the deployment of Western-supplied cluster weapons, which trapped the Russians in the open space between the mine and their own lines. The post-action report confirms that no fewer than 10 Russian vehicles were destroyed, and at least 150 troops fell in that open space on foreign soil.
The Krasnohorivka action is part of a larger operational drive by Ukraine to simply drain Russian formations of their fighting power in preparation for an upcoming thrust by yet uncommitted Ukrainian mechanized reserves.
