This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the helicopter pilot.

“Now they came from the task, worked out on targets - they destroyed two tanks and 15 personnel,” he said.

According to him, the helicopter returned without damage. 

The agency reports that the Ukrainian military has turned the front line that links the cities of Seversk, Artyomovsk and Soledar in the DPR into a powerful fortified area.

The report says that this area is also saturated with a large number of Ukrainian air defense, so Russian helicopters have to fly at extremely low altitude.

Earlier, the DPR forces announced a breakthrough in the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and advancement in the Ugledar direction.
