Partisans recently conducted reconnaissance near the settlement of Chornomorske in Crimea, where they discovered new defensive structures and warehouses containing weapons and equipment of the occupiers, according to ATESH.

The occupiers, trying to conceal their positions, are constantly fortifying themselves along the coastline. However, the coordinates of the new objects quickly became known to the Ukrainian side thanks to ATESH.

Specifically, agents of the movement identified the new locations of special equipment warehouses, training grounds, and fortified positions.

The gathered information has already been handed over to the Defense Forces of Ukraine for further action.

According to representatives of ATESH, the occupiers will likely have to relocate their positions again soon due to the effective strikes by the Ukrainian army.

Russians in occupied Crimea

After the occupation of Crimea in 2014, the peninsula turned into a military base for the Russian Federation, a center of repression against the local population, and a hub of ecological crimes by the Russians.

The occupiers punish any pro-Ukrainian activity, including the use of Ukrainian symbols or language. For instance, Russians consider Crimean residents celebrating Christmas on December 25 to be saboteurs.

With the onset of the full-scale invasion, Russia has used Crimea as a launchpad for attacks on Ukrainian territories. It is from there that the occupiers launch missiles and drones and carry out airstrikes on Ukrainian cities.

However, the resistance movement continues to operate in Crimea. Recently, partisans discovered another fuel depot of the occupiers.
