The partisan group Atesh conducted reconnaissance on the headquarters of the 2nd Combined Arms Army, which is directing the assault on Pokrovsk, according to the Atesh movement.
Agents of the movement in Samara carried out reconnaissance of the 2nd Combined Arms Army headquarters of Russia’s Central Military District. The site, according to Atesh, is a key nerve center that directly controls operations in the Pokrovsk direction.

Through this headquarters, operational command is exercised over units attempting to wipe Pokrovsk off the face of the earth - namely, the 21st and 30th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigades and the 385th Guards Artillery Brigade.
These formations are notorious for their meat-grinder assaults and their disregard for human life, including not only the residents of Pokrovsk but even their own personnel.

“We are aware of the nature of their orders, the real scale of their losses, and the morale of the units. Every one of their crimes is being documented and will not go unanswered,” Atesh promised.
During the reconnaissance, the movement’s agents:
- Recorded the headquarters area and adjacent facilities;
- Identified the license plates of vehicles belonging to command staff and operational services;
- Studied the security system and patrol schedules (noting a постоян presence of traffic police vehicles and enhanced security measures);
- Personally observed the chief of staff and several senior officers.
Atesh also claims it has access to internal information on operational planning and the current situation.

“All the photos, videos, and information obtained have already been handed over to the Defense Forces of Ukraine. We know your every move. Retribution for Pokrovsk is inevitable,” the post says.

In recent weeks, representatives of the ATESH partisan movement have regularly published information about key military facilities on Russian territory.
Earlier, it was reported that ATESH partisans carried out reconnaissance of a plant working for Russia’s military‑industrial complex. According to the movement’s agents, the facility manufactures chassis for S‑400 and S‑350 surface‑to‑air missile systems, Iskander‑M operational‑tactical missile systems, and Uragan multiple launch rocket systems.
The agents also managed to infiltrate the positions of a Russian air defense unit near St. Petersburg, which provides cover for the city and strategic facilities of Russia’s Northwestern Federal District.
In addition, the partisans conducted reconnaissance of a suspected Russian air defense headquarters in Sevastopol.
