SSU neutralized Russian agency that was scouting positions of Armed Forces of Ukraine in south of Ukraine.

In the course of a special operation in the Mykolaiv region, 3 deeply conspiring enemy agents were detained. They scouted combat positions and movements of units of the Armed Forces, as well as geolocations of strategic critical infrastructure facilities in the region.

According to Censor.NET, this was reported by SSU.

"In order to mask criminal actions, the perpetrators involved their close relatives and other local residents as informants. The group members passed the information they received to their Russian curator in the form of text messages and photographs with coordinates. The agency network was formed by representatives of the special services of the Russian Federation to carry out intelligence and subversive activities," the message says.
