The State Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) reported on the elimination of a snipers’ nest at the TV Tower in the city of Konstantinivka on May 3. SBU spokesperson Marina Ostapenko reported on it at a briefing in the Anti-Terrorist Center.

According to Ostapenko, during the operation the Alpha special unit was resisted by a group of gunmen twice its size. “We have injured officers. As far as I know there are two of them, but they are alive. And Alpha fully accomplished its task; the firing point of the enemy was destroyed,” Ostapenko said.
