Crimea. Civilians evacuate to the Russian Southern Military District amid Ukrainian strikes
Russian air defence soldiers have received orders to evacuate their families from Crimea to the Russian Southern Military District. According to their information, air defence systems are also being moved from Crimea to the Belgorod region in Russia. This change follows further successful attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The Russian command recommended that the military air defence evacuate families from temporarily occupied Crimea. This information was reported by the partisan movement Atesh and cited by Ukrainian politician Anton Herashchenko.
Agent Atesh, who is part of the calculation of the air defense system stationed in the village of Novosti in Crimea, reports that he has received a "recommendation" from commanders to start evacuating their families to military camps in the Southern Military District - reads the article.
Experts note that this order coincides with the relocation of Russian air defence systems from Crimea to the Belgorod region. It is noted that these actions threaten the safety of the peninsula.
Atesh also adds that at the same time, the Russian Federation is creating new mobile air defence groups to combat drones using the Soviet anti-aircraft gun ZU-23-2.
This development coincides with the movement of air defense systems to the Belgorod region, which poses a threat to security in Crimea - emphasizes the mentioned source.
