Ukraine Liberates Vovchansk Aggregate Plant (Russia’s Holdout Encircled for Three Months!)
Video Summary
Ukraine’s forces have recaptured the B Chans aggregate plant, a strategic location in the Harah region of north Ukraine. The plant was surrounded by Russian forces, with an initial estimated 400 troops, but the number dwindled over time. Ukraine launched a series of air strikes and artillery bombardments, targeting the plant and surrounding areas. Despite Russia’s attempts to resupply the trapped soldiers via drones, they were unable to break through and hold their ground. Ukrainian forces finally stormed the plant and raised their flag, marking its capture. The plant’s recapture took over three months, with the Russians initially encircled in late June. It was previously reported that the plant was still under Russian control, but it appears that Ukraine had liberated it earlier, with videos and screenshots from Russian sources showing air strikes and artillery hits on September 17. Ukraine reported that 20 Russian soldiers were captured during the operation.
