Our fighters deployed an SPG-9 tripod-mounted recoilless gun to kill a machine gunner who was securing the approach to the building. A Border Guards ground reconnaissance group broke through and eliminated the Wagnerites."

Details: The border guards reported that one of their units fought a positional battle with Russian forces in the vicinity of a Bakhmut industrial facility.

On 10 March, Ukraine’s defenders repelled several Russian assault operations. Wagner Group mercenaries entrenched themselves in a workshop [at the industrial facility] to amass additional forces.

The Border Guards unit set up an ambush to eliminate the Russian group.

"As darkness fell, the [Russian] assault troops approaching the frontline were in for a surprise. The Border Guards snipers killed six occupation fighters," the Border Guard Service said in a statement.
