Russian special forces stealthily navigated through an abandoned gas pipeline spanning several miles to execute a surprise assault on Ukrainian soldiers in the Kursk region, as claimed by Ukraine’s military and pro-Moscow war bloggers. On the Telegram app, footage reveals the elite troops navigating the pipeline’s darkness to reach Sudan. Some soldiers voice discontent with their commanding officers and the mission. Following a nearly nine-mile trek and concealed several days within the pipeline, the soldiers struck Ukrainian positions from behind. While Russian forces attempted to reclaim areas of Kursk through this pipeline maneuver following Ukraine’s seizure, Ukrainian forces swiftly detected and countered with rocket, artillery, and drone strikes, inflicting significant Russian casualties.
