Details
The operation was carried out by soldiers of the 8th Regiment of the Special Operations Forces.
An SOF team detected and captured an enemy operative who was hiding in the city and adjusting fire on Ukrainian troops.
"Radio intercepts clearly indicated the presence of a ‘rat’ in one of Kupiansk’s districts. He constantly changed locations and stayed hidden.
Because of the dense urban development, the large number of shelters, and potential firing positions, finding the enemy was a long and painstaking task," the statement said.
The spotter was taken prisoner.
