A video of the successful offensive operation was published by the Main Intelligence Directorate. It was noted that the operation involved military personnel from the DIU and the Third Corps.

"The DIU and the Third Corps are reclaiming territories: Novomykhailivka is under the control of Ukrainian forces! A successful offensive operation was conducted by the Active Operations Department of the DIU of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, including the ’Artan’ unit, and the 2nd Assault Battalion of the Third Assault Brigade. The units drove out the occupiers and restored control over the settlement of Novomykhailivka in the Donetsk region," – the caption to the video states.
