“Military intelligence is working to identify places where the enemy is concentrated: manpower and equipment,” Yusov explained.
“In this situation, the operation was perfectly executed, utilizing promptly acquired information to deliver a significant blow to the enemy.”
This strike was not an isolated incident, as similar operations are planned for the future, noted the military intelligence representative.
