UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, May 15 — Drone operators of the Kharkiv Border Detachment attacked the Russian positions in the Kharkiv oblast, reported the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

Ukrainian drones hit an artillery cannon, a mortar position, three vehicles, a field depot, and four shelters where Russians hide their personnel and ammunition, said the border guard.

Ukrainian forces also destroyed four communication antennas through which the Russians coordinated the actions of their units and drone operators.

Also, the Ukrainian military reported that Russians continue to attack their positions on the Kupiansk axis, but they can’t use green cover — coverage of tree leaves and bushes — to hide their assault operations as planned.
