Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) mined a road and attacked a Russian platoon stronghold, resulting in eliminated occupiers near Belgorod, HUR reported on Telegram on Jan. 5. 

The timing of the raid was not specified.

HUR gathered intelligence that senior Russian military officials in Belgorod Oblast’s Grayvoron district were organizing an inspection in response to growing discontent and grievances among personnel regarding their service conditions, HUR reported on Jan. 5.

The rank-and-file local officers “scrambled” and began conducting active engineering works before the arrival of the “Moscow inspectors.” It was at that time that Ukrainian special forces planned the sabotage operation.

Intelligence officers mined the only road used by the occupiers in the area and attacked a Russian platoon stronghold.

“As a result of the fire raid involving small arms and mortars, as well as detonation on Ukrainian mines, the enemy suffered losses,” HUR reported.  “The number of eliminated and wounded occupiers is being clarified.”

Explosions also occurred in Belgorod on Dec. 30.  Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov stated that the regional capital was shelled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Ukrainian Security and Defense Forces struck military targets in Belgorod, Ukrainian media reported.

Drone debris fell in the city center due to “unprofessional actions of the Russian air defense” and “planned provocations.”  Russia reported 24 fatalities at the time.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
