Agents of the ATESH partisan movement are monitoring the construction of a new base for Russian invaders in the Melitopol district of the Zaporizhzhia region.

According to Ukrinform, ATESH reported this on Telegram.

“Agents of the movement are conducting round-the-clock surveillance of the village of Myrne (Melitopol district). The invaders have launched large-scale construction there on the territory occupied by the 291st Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment of the Russian Armed Forces,” the report says.

The Russians are building a permanent field camp to house personnel.

Particular attention is being paid to the creation of a training cluster. Training sites for UAV operators have been equipped.

The enemy is trying to create a rear base for training reserves and drone operators, hoping that they will not be reached deep inside the temporarily occupied territory.

“This is a mistake. Construction is proceeding under full control, and the coordinates have already been passed to the Ukrainian Defense Forces. Instead of new barracks, the invaders will be met with a hostile reception,” ATESH noted.
