Two sabotage-and-reconnaissance squads of mercenaries from Russian private military company (PMC) Wagner Group have been neutralized in Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine’s SBU security service said in a Facebook post on Oct. 11.
The SBU credited its local Kharkiv branch and its Special Operations Center for conducting a lightning-fast operation, with no personnel losses.
According to the SBU, one enemy operative was killed and four more were captured. Among them is the commander of the sabotage-and-reconnaissance group, who is already sharing important intelligence with Ukrainian officials – in particular concerning torture chambers arranged by the Russian forces for Ukrainian citizens and POWs.
In September, the commander of PMC Wagner, 41-year-old Aleksey Nagin, was killed in Ukraine. According to the InformNapalm war monitoring initiative, he was a "veteran" of combat operations in Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine’s Donbas, Syria, and Libya.
