The enemy worked with Western small group tactics and was brought in by a Ukrainian Cossack armored car. Dismounting and walking a little along the landing, they, as expected, disappeared into it. It was clear that one person sometimes looked out from there, which gave reason to believe that the enemy was not moving further. While the mortars were being aimed, 5 minutes passed, as expected, because one can only guess, they were informed by communication that a car was moving along their own route in the “gray zone”. The road along this forest plantation is marked on our maps as the only one not mined.

It is worth noting that in view of the orders of the command, in some sectors of the front it is prescribed to use vehicles not associated with military equipment for movement, in order to avoid ATGMs. Apparently, the enemy reconnaissance group did not or could not identify those in the vehicles, and as a result opened fire to kill, while our side was pointing 82 and 120mm mortars from the area of the settlement. Nikolskoe/Nikolskie dachas.

After the inspection, it turned out that they were anyone, but definitely not the military. Since the situation occurred in the "gray zone", it is not yet possible to conduct an inspection of the area, at least by our forces.
