In the North Slobozhanske direction, paratroopers repelled a Russian assault carried out on snowmobiles and captured six prisoners.

A video of the combat work was published on the page of the 8th Corps of the Air Assault Forces of the AFU.

Ten assault troops were advancing toward the settlement of Korchakivka.

“The enemy decided to catch our defenders by surprise on snowmobiles. As swiftly as they dismounted in front of our positions, just as swiftly our hunt and systematic destruction of the ‘guests’ began”, — the paratroopers wrote.

As a result of the coordinated actions of the 71st Separate Airmobile Brigade, four occupants were eliminated, and the rest were taken prisoner.

“By doing so, they preserved their lives and became a source of valuable information. By 10 a.m. the strike-and-search actions of the Ukrainian paratroopers ended in complete failure for the occupiers”, — the statement reads.
