The enemy's attempt to establish a crossing over the Vovcha River ended with the destruction of the bridgelayer.

On June 3, 2026, at about 05:00 in the Vovchansk direction, the enemy attempted to establish a crossing over the Vovcha River.

According to preliminary information, the engineering units of the Russian occupation forces tried to use the VMM-3M bridgelayer in the Shebyekino - Vovchansk direction. The enemy's likely goal was to create conditions for the further involvement of armored and automotive equipment, as well as to increase the offensive potential in the Vovchansk - White Well direction.

As a result of the explosion of mine-explosive barriers and subsequent damage by strike UAVs, the enemy's bridgelayer was destroyed.

The defense forces continue to control the situation in the specified area and are ready for further attempts by the enemy to carry out engineering actions.
