Russia Just Got Handed a Taste of Its Own Tactic: Ukraine Says Its Troops Traveled About Fifteen Kilometers Through Gas Pipelines
Ukrainian forces said the pipeline raid cut Russian infiltration routes and inflicted more than 100 casualties while capturing over 30 troops, according to Khartiia.
- Ukraine's 2nd Khartiia Corps of the National Guard released the first footage from Operation VELES on October 21, a joint underground mission conducted with the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
- Constant aerial surveillance has made open surface movement increasingly dangerous, forcing troops to adapt concealment and maneuver tactics by shifting operations underground.
- Brigadier General Ihor Obolienskyi, commander of the Khartiia Corps, praised the personnel involved, stating, "We have extraordinary people; we are an invincible nation."
- Khartiia has withheld details regarding Operation VELES's objectives, location, and progress, though the corps promised to share more information soon.
- Earlier combat success includes Operation Vivaldi, which resulted in 277 square kilometers of territory retaken and at least 8,000 Russian troops killed or wounded.
