The Ukrainian military destroyed enemy vehicles and a pontoon crossing over the Siverskyi Donets River near the village of Serebryanka, Donetsk region.

That’s according to the 30th Separate Mechanized Brigade, Ukrinform reports.

"The Russians planned to redeploy personnel and heavy armored vehicles across a pontoon crossing over the Siversky Donets River near Serebryanka. But the Russians forcing the river is ‘mission impossible’ due to 30 SMB soldiers and other security forces,” the statement reads.
