The Russian occupiers tried to use the pipes to move around - this time trying to reach the positions of the Defense Forces in Toretsk.
This was stated in a comment to LIGA.net by the spokesman for the Khortytsia Regional Administrative District Nazar Voloshyn.
"The Russian army has recently been making a lot of efforts to break through the defense of Toretsk. The enemy in the direction is attacking the Defense Forces not only from the flanks, but also from underground. In the literal sense of the word," he said.
According to the spokesman for the Khortytsia Special Operations Command, the enemy is trying to use the underground communications network to penetrate the ranks of Ukrainian defenders and reach the rear areas. A similar incident was recorded on March 30.
However, Voloshyn stressed that the Ukrainian military is doing everything possible to prevent the situation from worsening.
Recall that in early March, the Russians used a gas pipeline to attack Ukrainian positions in Sudzh.
