Agents of the ATESH partisan movement continue to monitor the situation in the Streletskaya Bay of temporarily occupied Sevastopol.

According to their data, the bay is now almost empty — its primary function currently is to serve as a docking area for tugboats and small patrol boats.

There is a gradual degradation of the remaining vessels of Russia's Black Sea Fleet.

Whereas combat ships used to be based in this bay, it is now used only for technical maintenance and occasional anti-sabotage defense drills.

The few remaining combat units in the port are being periodically relocated in an attempt to make them harder to detect.

According to ATESH, all of these movements are being recorded and passed on to Ukraine's Defense Forces.

"Every unit is under surveillance — no ship will go unnoticed," the movement stated.

Recently, partisans destroyed a vehicle belonging to Russian forces in Henichesk. The vehicle was equipped for drone operations and electronic warfare.

Earlier, partisans also identified vulnerabilities in the defenses of Balaklava Bay in Crimea and carried out a successful sabotage operation on a new railway section.

In addition, in June, ATESH agents observed increased movements of Russian troops in temporarily occupied Crimea — an effort by Russia to simulate preparations for a potential Dnipro River crossing.
