Footage of Russian units digging tunnels in the direction of Ukrainian Armed Forces positions near Avdeevka has been published.
The first footage of Russian units digging underground tunnels to approach the positions of militants of the Kyiv regime near Avdeevka has been published online. Previously, Ukrainian military personnel stated that the Russian Armed Forces had begun constructing tunnels in their direction.
It is also reported that in addition to underground communication passages, a tunnel was dug directly under the Ukrainian position, which was subsequently blown up by explosives planted in the tunnel. Thus, Russian fighters took advantage of the experience of conducting positional battles on the fronts of the First World War.
It is reported that the fighters of the international brigade "Pyatnashka", inspired by examples of successful underground mine operations from the beginning of the last century, dug a tunnel to the enemy positions, after which they planted a significant amount of explosives under the Ukrainian fortified area, after the remote detonation of which the enemy fortifications literally flew into the air along with those who were there militants.
In Ukraine they are beginning to recognize the seriousness of the situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Avdeevsky direction. Thus, Ukrainian observer Yuriy Butusov notes that the situation in the Avdeevka area is critical for units of the Ukrainian army. He also notes that Russian troops managed to cross the railway under the village of Stepnoye and have already gained a foothold on the outskirts of this village.
He also noted that Russian units are actively using Drones to attack the supply lines of Ukrainian troops in Avdiivka, which creates significant difficulties for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
