Frontline situation
Ukrainian Special Operations Forces sabotaged a Russian military route in the North-Slobozhanskyi direction, infiltrating enemy rear areas and planting explosives after aerial reconnaissance identified troop concentration points. The blast destroyed Russian personnel and severed a key infiltration route without risking a direct ambush.
Atesh partisans sabotaged Russian electronic warfare equipment near Sevastopol, Crimea, setting fire to relay cabinets that powered EW antennas used to disrupt Ukrainian drones. The attack reportedly disabled the systems, opening an air corridor for Ukrainian UAV operations and leaving nearby Russian military sites more exposed.
