Operators of the Raid regiment of the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces have struck a command post of the 9th Motor Rifle Brigade of Russia's 51st Combined Arms Army in the temporarily occupied city of Pokrovsk.

According to Ukrinform, the unit reported this on Facebook and released a video of the operation.

The regiment noted that Russian forces deliberately set up the command post inside the ruins of a high-rise building in an attempt to avoid detection and targeting, but the concealment effort failed.

Russia's 51st Combined Arms Army was formed in August last year on the basis of units of the so-called "2nd Army Corps" of the self-proclaimed "Donetsk People's Republic." The formation is actively involved in combat operations in the Donetsk region.
