Russian soldiers linked to war crimes in Ukraine eliminated in Vladivostok, sources say

Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence special operation took place in the area of Shchitova settlement in Primorsky Krai, where the 47th Separate Assault Battalion of the 155th Separate Guards Naval Infantry Brigade is stationed.

This unit participated in combat operations near Kyiv, Vuhledar, Mariupol, and in the Kursk and Pokrovsk directions.

The Russian 155th Brigade was noted for its particular brutality toward the local population and the execution of Ukrainian prisoners of war.

Sources said that at 9 a.m. local time, a powerful explosion occurred in the military unit’s parking lot, followed by another one shortly after.

Russian public channels report that a large amount of equipment and security service personnel arrived at the scene, and a helicopter was deployed.

At the entrance to Shchitova settlement, the area near administrative buildings and parking lots is cordoned off, traffic is partially blocked, and law enforcement is checking vehicles.

Russian sources claim the explosions were supposedly due to a “gas equipment incident.”

As a result of the morning Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence operation in Vladivostok, there are reports of killed and wounded enemy soldiers. Eyewitnesses say numerous ambulances are present at the scene.

“We are waiting for obituaries to appear in Vladivostok media and public channels,” Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence source summarized.

The Ukrainian side also reminded that every Russian soldier who committed war crimes in Ukraine will be held accountable.
