Lieutenant Colonel Dmytro Zaporozhets, spokesman for the Luhansk troop grouping, shared the information in a comment to Ukrainska Pravda.
According to him, Ukrainian Defense Forces observed Russian activity near the Siverskyi Donets Canal pipes between January 4th and 8th. Reports indicate that over 100 Russian troops were positioned within the collector, likely preparing for offensive operations towards Chasiv Yar.
On January 9th, the Ukrainian Defense Forces conducted an airstrike on the location where the Russian troops were concentrated.
"The strike resulted in significant Russian casualties, potentially reaching 100 personnel. For two days following the strike, no activity was observed near the pipes or the collector. On January 21st, the Russians initiated a fire within the collector, presumably to conceal the extent of their losses and avoid the need to recover the deceased. The fire and smoke persisted for approximately five hours," stated the spokesman.
- The occupying Russian army lost 1,340 troops in one day of war against Ukraine. The Ukrainian defense forces destroyed a number of Russian military vehicles, including 6 tanks.
