Ukrainian defenders from the State Border Guard Service showed a new video of the destruction of enemy manpower near Bakhmut, Donetsk region. Our soldiers fired a mortar at the trenches of the Russian occupiers.

The video was posted on the SBGSU Facebook account on Monday, 24 July. The footage was taken by a Ukrainian drone, which helped to adjust the shots from the air (to watch the video, scroll to the end of the page).

As a result of these strikes, three invaders were killed and five others were wounded.

The SBGS joked that the border guards and mortar launchers were "turning enemy dugouts into mass graves".

"Three [occupiers] were buried, five more were buried with one foot in the coffin," the press service captioned the video.

The recording shows that the Russian military placed the trenches in a forest plantation. This did not prevent the defenders of Ukraine from finding the invaders' dugouts and destroying them. According to the video, the occupiers were sent three explosive "gifts".

As OBOZREVATEL previously reported:

- On 22 July, it became known that the Ukrainian Defence Forces wounded a well-known separatist and Russian State Duma deputy Alexander Boroday near Bakhmut. Previously, he was the so-called head of the "council of ministers" of the terrorist "DPR".

- In November 2022, Borodai almost hit a mine while driving his SUV through the temporarily occupied Kherson region. However, instead of the militant, it was his associate who was travelling first in the convoy.
