Repelling a Mechanized Assault Near Toretsk: Azov Destroys Russian Armed Formations

Azov Fighters stopped a renewed assault on Katerynivka in the Toretsk sector. Five IFVs carrying eight troops each tried to break through to the outskirts of the village, but were detected early by the 5th Battalion, 12th Azov Brigade. One IFV struck a mine and tried to retreat, while another was hit by an FPV drone; both vehicles were destroyed and their crews eliminated. Three additional IFVs reached the outskirts but were intercepted by FPV drones, bomb‑dropping drones, and artillery, leading to the destruction of all vehicles and the elimination of enemy troops that attempted to hide in basements and houses. 00:00–00:26 Beginning of the enemy assault 00:27–02:02 Destruction of armored vehicles 02:03–03:36 Russians hiding from drones 03:37–05:14 Elimination of targets in Katerynivka 05:15–07:02 Summary of the failed attack
