Soldiers from the rapid response command of the Chernihiv Border Detachment successfully repelled Russian attacks in the Kupiansk sector of the front.

According to Ukrinform, this was reported by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (SBGS).

Over the course of several days, the enemy attempted to storm the border guards' positions in small groups, using mortar and small arms fire.

"Thanks to professionalism and accuracy, these attempts were halted with small arms. Yesterday, the enemy decided to launch an assault with a reinforced group, but the border guards withstood all waves of attacks and forced the enemy to retreat," the SBGS emphasized.

Additionally, aerial reconnaissance played a key role in this confrontation, constantly informing the soldiers about potential threats and providing support with strikes against the Russians.
