4th Squad repositioned to cover the western flank vacated by 1st Recon Squad.
3rd Squad engaged in intense close-quarters combat with Russian militia and Wagner Group for approximately 10 minutes.
2nd Squad and Scout 1 supported 3rd Squad, repelling the enemy attack.

5. Enemy Losses (Estimated).

Personnel: Unknown.

6. Assessment.

Success: Despite incurring moderate casualties, the operation is considered a success by senior command. This accomplishment is in contrast to the three prior costly operations in Zerno, Kvilda, and Lipova Lhota.
Strengths: Timely intelligence allowed for preemptive defensive measures and effective artillery support disrupted enemy attacks. Combined arms tactics involving infantry, armor, and artillery proved effective.
Weaknesses: Initial losses suffered by 1st Recon Squad exposed the western flank and necessitated adjustments. Depletion of white phosphorus rounds limited the effectiveness of artillery support in the later stages of the engagement.
Improvements: Refine squad-level coordination for rapid response to flanking maneuvers. Evaluate alternative artillery munitions to maintain sustained fire support.
7. Recommendation.

Planning staff should begin developing plans for offensive operations in the general area surrounding Zichoviche to capitalize on the success of this defensive operation and potentially disrupt future separatist activity in the region.
