Russians try to sneak toward Zaporizhzhia through the dried-up Kakhovka Reservoir. Ukrainian intelligence…
Euromaidan Press reports that Russian sabotage groups are crossing the dried-up bed of the Kakhovka Reservoir toward Zaporizhzhia, using the overgrown reservoir floor to slip behind Ukrainian lines. Ukrainian intelligence captured three people, and in footage one captive says a bomber drone killed most of his group. A separate WarTranslated post describes a cat alerting a Ukrainian FPV drone operator to approaching Russians, without further detail.
Why it matters
The reservoir bed, which the reports say was drained by Moscow, is being used as a route for small Russian infiltration groups toward Zaporizhzhia, according to Euromaidan Press.
What's unclear
- How many sabotage groups are involved and where exactly they crossed
- Whether the three captured were taken in the same incident described in the footage
- What the WarTranslated cat account adds beyond the drone-operator anecdote
