Ukraine's State Border Guard Service (DPSU) has announced a successful operation that restored control over more than 10 square kilometers of territory.

Operation details

According to the DPSU, the fighting resulted in the deaths of 118 Russian military personnel. Ukrainian forces also captured 7 Russian servicemen during the operation.

DPSU representatives described the operation as a significant achievement in reclaiming territory from Russian control. The source material does not specify the exact location or timeframe of the operation.

The announcement adds to a series of recent reports on actions by Ukraine's armed forces and border guard units along the front line, where both sides continue to fight for territorial control. Ukrainian officials regularly release figures on enemy losses and captured soldiers to demonstrate the balance of forces in particular sections of the front.

The DPSU is one of Ukraine's security agencies that, beyond its core border-protection duties, also participates in combat operations against Russian forces, particularly in areas where the border with Russia or occupied territories lies close to active combat zones.

Further details about the conditions of the operation, the units involved, and future plans have not been disclosed, likely for security reasons.
