    The Russian offensive reportedly involved 24 armored vehicles, including tanks, infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), and armored personnel carriers (APCs), as well as several dozen motorcycles and quad bikes. Ukrainian defenders neutralized the assault in approximately 100 minutes, according to Brovdi.

    Militarnyi reported that units from the NGU’s Azov 1st Corps, including the “Svoboda” Battalion of the 4th NGU Brigade, as well as elements of the SBS drone unit and other attached formations, engaged the enemy using a full range of capabilities—including reconnaissance and strike drones, artillery, multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), and HIMARS precision-guided rockets.

    The bulk of Russian losses were inflicted by tube and rocket artillery, as well as mines dropped by UAVs. Final figures released by the Azov press office indicate Ukrainian forces destroyed six tanks, nine infantry fighting vehicles, five APCs, and one armored recovery vehicle (ARV).

    In the final wave of the assault, Russian forces deployed 11 quad bikes, of which 10 were destroyed. One vehicle retreated from the battlefield.
