Defense forces of Ukraine destroyed enemy armored vehicles in the direction of Zaporozhye.

Soldiers of the advanced unit of one of the battalions of the ground defense brigade, in cooperation with a unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, destroyed the BTR-82A wheeled armored personnel carrier of the occupying forces of the Russian Federation.
Enemy equipment was burning in the forest between the fields near the field road.
Judging by the ammunition boxes near the burning armored personnel carrier, the positions of the occupying forces were located there.
"The Zaporizhia direction of resistance to Russian aggression remains steadily tense.
But 24 hours a day, our glorious guys keep watch on the front line to preserve peace and tranquility in the cities and villages of free Ukraine.
Together we will win! Glory to Ukraine!", the territorial defense brigade said.
In their report, the ground defense fighters did not specify what kind of weapon was used to destroy the Russian BTR-82A. Probably the car was hit by artillery or mortar fire of the Defense Forces.
It is clear from the published video that the Ukrainian military observed the enemy's positions and the consequences of the damage to the armored personnel carrier from a drone.
