On the North-Slobozhansky direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine captured five Russian occupants with the help of a drone and a loudspeaker. This was reported in Facebook by the 158th separate mechanized brigade.

It is reported that the soldiers of the 158th OMBr addressed the Russian military through a loudspeaker.

"Russian soldiers, we know where you are hiding. We're giving you one last chance. In one hour, the hideout will be completely destroyed. If you surrender, you will live and go to exchange to your relatives. All the groups that moved with you yesterday have already been destroyed and are lying in the fields," the appeal said.

After that, two Russians came out of the hideout and surrendered as prisoners. The brigade's message specified:

"The fighters of the 158th brigade in the North Slobozhansky direction took two Russian military men with call signs Gorets and Surgeon captive with the help of a drone with a loudspeaker. The two then recorded an appeal inviting their 'colleagues', after which three more occupants surrendered."

The brigade also said that the Russian army command opened fire on its own military officer who tried to surrender.
