Ukrainian forces struck a Russian assault group advancing toward Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region, using FPV drones and artillery to target infantry and equipment moving from the direction of Bakhmut.
According to Ukraine’s 24th Separate Mechanized Brigade and the operational-strategic grouping “Khortytsia,” the operation was carried out in coordination with the 427th Separate Unmanned Systems Regiment “RAROG.” Video released showed Russian troops moving in an exposed formation on approaches to the city before being targeted by Ukrainian drones. The brigade stated that “more than 20 Russians moved openly from the direction of Bakhmut,” adding that “reconnaissance detected them, artillery and drones dismantled them. The operation was carried out in coordination.” Footage published by Ukrainian military sources showed FPV drones striking a trailer carrying a quad bike before additional drones targeted Russian infantry moving along the route toward Chasiv Yar. The released video also included footage reportedly captured from cameras carried by Russian soldiers during the attack. According to the Ukrainian military, the engagement took place on the outskirts of Chasiv Yar, a city that remains one of the key contested positions in eastern Ukraine. Russian forces currently control eastern and central parts of the city, while Ukrainian troops continue to hold positions in western districts. Chasiv Yar has remained strategically important for both sides since Russian forces intensified assaults on the city following the capture of Bakhmut in 2024. Control of the area could provide Russian forces with additional access routes toward Kostiantynivka and other Ukrainian defensive positions deeper in the Donetsk region. Although Russia controls the eastern and central parts of Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region, Ukraine controls the western part of the city. Therefore, as Forbes reports , the widespread use of drones further complicates the already difficult task of capturing and holding urban areas. This city is of operational importance to both sides in the war. For Russia, capturing the city would help break Ukraine’s defensive "fortress belt" and open access to Kostiantynivka and Sloviansk, allowing them to conduct further offensive operations westward. At the same time, for Ukraine, Chasiv Yar is a key part of the defensive network that helps block Russia’s advance beyond Bakhmut. "The city’s elevated terrain makes it important, providing advantageous positions for artillery and drone operations, which improves surveillance and strike capabilities for the side that controls it," the article emphasizes. It is known that Russian attacks on Chasiv Yar began in April 2024, after the fall of Bakhmut. Initially, these strikes were aimed at breaking through Ukrainian defenses along the Seversky Donets-Donbas Canal, so the Russian army deployed significant manpower, airborne units, and reinforcements. "These attacks were accompanied by artillery fire, the use of glide bombs, and drones. Despite this concentration of military force, Russia achieved only slow, gradual success against the staunch Ukrainian defense and has still not been able to fully capture the city after two years of fierce fighting," the publication adds. Initially, the Russian occupiers believed they could quickly capture Chasiv Yar, given its small size and pre-war population of approximately 12,000. However, fighting raged block by block, as the Russian army attempted to advance from the eastern districts through the city center to the western districts. "Throughout 2024 and early 2025, Russia repeatedly claimed to have captured the city, including several times loudly declaring full control over it. These claims were consistently refuted by Ukrainian officials and independent assessments, which indicate that Ukrainian troops continue to hold the western part of the city and are resisting the Russian advance," Forbes notes. In Chasiv Yar, the troop concentrations needed to clear and hold the street are extremely vulnerable to UAV strikes. The 24th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces took advantage of this vulnerability, using drones to disrupt Russian attacks.
