In further detail, the spokesperson added that crews of Russian TOS-1A "Solntsepek" (Blazing Sun) thermobaric rocket launchers caused personnel damage in the Novomykhailivka region, while crews of high-power self-propelled mortars 2S4 'Tyulpan' removed a temporary deployment position of Ukrainian soldiers.

Concurrently, a Russian Lancet kamikaze drone also eradicated a Krab self-propelled tracked gun-howitzer in the direction of southern Donetsk, Sputnik quoted the spokesperson as saying.
