A distraction was struck at our positions in the Kalinovo area (LPR).
Assault groups almost in the forehead tried to take the skyscrapers, others tried to bypass from the flanks. Those that went in the forehead were immediately discarded and their losses were small. In principle, the first message came from these units. Approximately 6 dead and 23 injured. And those that tried to reach our skyscrapers from the flanks got into their old minefields. Nobody drove them into their necks, and they did not confuse the settlements, as some media claimed. They knew where they were going and what was waiting for them. Our batteries first cut off these units with an artillery barrage, and then drowned out the connection and began to destroy them methodically. As a result, one of the units was completely destroyed, the 34 two hundredth remained on the margins. From that unit six wounded soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine returned to their positions.

Another unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which entered from the second flank, was also cut off by an artillery barrage, and communications were muffled. We left one of their strongholds and moved away. The APU took this OP and reported to the command.
