Occupants drowned in the Dnipro during training in Kherson region

Two Russian soldiers drowned in the Dnipro River during a water obstacle course training exercise.

This was reported by the Atesh guerrilla movement.

According to the movement, a mechanic-driver and an armored personnel carrier commander died due to a technical malfunction of the vehicle during training near the village of Khorly in Kherson region. The military were probably preparing to cross the Dnipro River to the right bank.

The victims were contract soldiers from Novoarkhangelsk who had not worked in the army for two months. The command tried to cover up the incident, but an investigation is underway. The guerrillas note that the officers responsible are unlikely to be punished.

Atesh called on the Russian military not to risk their lives because of criminal orders, but to join the guerrilla movement to have a chance to return home alive.

On January 29, Atesh agents recorded Russians placing military equipment in the seized houses of residents of Kherson region. The occupiers hide armored vehicles, trucks and even multiple rocket launchers under camouflage nets.

It has also become known that the Russian military has increased the number of air defense systems near key Russian military facilities in the occupied Crimea. At the same time, they have weakened the defense of other frontline areas. The guerrillas conducted reconnaissance of the Hvardiyske military airfield near Simferopol, which is actively used by the Russian invaders to base their aircraft and logistics in Crimea. They recorded a significant increase in air defense systems, discovering many S-400 launchers and radar stations.

The guerrillas also discovered that the Russians have begun to redeploy their aircraft to inactive airfields. For example, the occupiers are working on the runways, repairing the building and moving military equipment and people to the territory of Zavodske airport in the temporarily occupied Simferopol.
