Pro-Ukrainian partisans infiltrated a base belonging to Russia’s 18th Guards Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment in the occupied Crimean town of Feodosia, the pro-Ukrainian Atesh guerrilla movement reported on Telegram on Jan. 15.

“While the guards were busy with important things on their phones, we were able to quickly reconnoiter and record everything,” Attest explained.

Allegedly, the partisans received some information directly from Russian conscripts manning the base, though it is unclear whether the conscripts were motivated by pro-Ukrainian sentiment or were simply tricked.

All intelligence gathered was passed on to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Atesh said.

Atesh has been responsible for a number of infiltrations of Russian military facilities and bases, having previously revealed the existence of complex fortifications in Crimea, bases in occupied eastern Ukraine, and factory plans from within Russia itself.
