The AFU fighters managed to overcome Russian ordnance on the direction near Rabotino.
A video has appeared online showing the AFU military behind the fortifications of the first "Surovikin line" near the village of Rabotino in Zaporizhzhya Region. The video was taken near the village of Verbovoye (south-east of Rabotino), confirms the GeoConfirmed project.
The satellite photo shows that the place where the video was taken is behind the first "Surovikin line".
OSINT analysts geolocated a video of Russian artillery shelling of the AFU military that appeared in a pro-Russian Telegram channel on Wednesday morning.
The Ukrainian military managed to overcome both "dragon's teeth" and trenches in the area, military analyst Kyle Glen notes.
Bild military correspondent Julian Repke also writes about overcoming the defences. He noted that these structures "held back Ukrainian soldiers for about a day."
"Surovikin Line" are defensive structures that the Russian Federation began building at the end of 2022 in the occupied territories of Ukraine and in the Russian regions bordering Ukraine.
