During the assault operations, paratroopers from the 25th Sicheslav separate airborne brigade of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine recaptured Kotlyne.

The Khortytsia Operational and Strategic Group of Forces added on Telegram that the joint operations resulted in the destruction of one enemy APC and 12 vehicles.
In addition, 275 Russian soldiers were killed and another 203 invaders were neutralized.
