Russia Just Got Handed a Taste of Its Own Tactic: Ukraine Says Its Troops Traveled About Fifteen Kilometers Through Gas Pipelines
The operation aimed to block Russian infiltration routes and create pressure from below and above, with troops capturing more than 30 Russians, Khartiia said.

- 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.
