Melitopol Bus Attack: Ukrainian Partisans Target Chechen Soldiers
On August 2, Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (HUR) announced a joint operation with local partisans that resulted in the explosion of a minibus carrying five Chechen soldiers from the Akhmat unit in occupied Melitopol, killing all five. The blast also wounded two Russian soldiers in a nearby vehicle and destroyed an electronic warfare system. HUR previously reported successful operations in Melitopol and Skadovsk, targeting Russian forces and personnel. These actions are part of a larger effort by Ukrainian partisan groups and intelligence agencies to disrupt Russian operations within occupied territories.
