And In Donbas, Ukraine's 53rd Brigade Counterattacks, Retakes Niu-York

Niu-York was one of the Donbas towns believed to be threatened by ongoing Russian attacks. 

That the Ukrainians appear to be recapturing crucial parts of the town suggests that the Kursk offensive may be drawing Russian troops from other parts of the front, making Ukrainian counterattacks more successful. JL

Militarnyi reports:

Soldiers of the 53rd Mechanized Brigade conducted successful counteroffensive actions in New York town, in the Donetsk region. During street battles in New York, the military managed to recapture school No. 38, located in the northern part of the town. Although the enemy has a numerical advantage, it is significantly outmatched by the Ukrainian Defense Forces in the number of FPV drones, which play a crucial role in destroying Russian armored vehicles. Due to FPV drones, the Ukrainian troops are also destroying Russian air defense systems.

During street battles in New York, the military managed to recapture school No. 38, located in the northern part of the town, from the Russian invaders.

 

Due to the brigade’s successful counteroffensive, the military servicemen managed to raise the flag of Ukraine over the building at coordinates 48.336530, 37.823622.

It is worth noting that intense battles are currently being fought in the town for control of every street, and clearing large buildings of enemy forces could significantly strengthen the Ukrainian Defense Forces’ defensive line.

Both combat aircraft and helicopters are also involved in supporting the Ukrainian defenders, constantly shelling enemy positions.

Militarnyi previously reported that Ukrainian paratroopers repulsed a Russian assault on the village of Kostiantynivka in the Donetsk region.

In the Kurakhove sector, the Russian command has been trying to capture the villages of Kostiantynivka and Paraskoviivka for a long time.

The recent Russian attack was on the positions of paratroopers and the 471st Infantry Battalion.

Russian troops tried to land near the destroyed houses, but Ukrainian strikes forced the invaders to leave the village.
