American-made M-777 howitzers, Grad MLRS and armored combat vehicles of Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups were destroyed by fire from the Smerch multiple launch rocket system. The enemy's position was determined thanks to the calculation of the Zoopark reconnaissance and fire control radar complex.

The day before, the defense department reported that the village of Kozinka (Belgorod region) had been completely cleared of the remnants of Ukrainian militants. Air strikes and artillery fire destroyed up to 650 saboteurs, as well as two armored vehicles and two Czech-made Vampire MLRS combat vehicles.
