Ukrainian partisans conducted reconnaissance of the coastline and bays in temporarily occupied Sevastopol. The results revealed that most enemy ships had left Crimean ports, according to the ATESH partisan movement.

During their observation, agents determined that the bays were nearly empty, with most ships having departed from Crimean ports and only occasionally appearing in local waters.

At the same time, partisans noted that the enemy has bolstered the coastal defense with military boats conducting round-the-clock patrols, actively monitoring for the potential appearance of unmanned vessels in coastal waters.

“Instead of deploying air defense systems on ships, mobile radar units are being actively set up across the peninsula for protection, which are also being identified by our agents,” the ATESH states.

Partisan activity in occupied Crimea

Recently, partisans identified the location of Russian troops’ air defense systems covering the northern part of the peninsula.

On the night of September 10, the Russians scrambled aviation from the Saky airfield in response to a Ukrainian drone attack.

Additionally, agents from the ATESH group conducted a new reconnaissance of a Russian military base near Sevastopol.
