Ukrainian border guards who are holding the defence in the Avdiyivka sector shot down a Russian Su-25 aircraft with a portable anti-aircraft missile system, the spokesman for the State Border Service, Andriy Demchenko, told Ukrayinska Pravda.

"An anti-aircraft missile fired by the border guards from a portable system hit an air target. The enemy aircraft began to smoke and lose altitude and disappeared over the horizon," Demchenko said.
