Quote: "The enemy tank attack consisted of two columns of six tanks each, with massive FPV drone cover. Each tank carried an assault force of 8-10 infantrymen. The first convoy of six tanks advanced on the positions of the 13th Khartiia Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine. The occupiers failed to reach the front line of our defence. The brigade's soldiers inflicted heavy fire damage with all available means, and stopped and defeated the column."
