2nd National Guard Corps releases first footage of underground operation 'Veles'

Tactical shift due to aerial threat

The 2nd Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine, 'Khartiia', has released the first video materials from the underground operation 'Veles'. This combat operation is being carried out jointly with other units of the Defence Forces. Service members emphasise that this change in tactics became necessary due to the enemy's constant aerial surveillance, which makes open movement on the battlefield increasingly difficult.

Details of the combat operation

The published footage shows Ukrainian defenders carrying out tasks underground. However, representatives of the Corps have not yet disclosed the specific purpose of the operation, its geographical location, or details of the course of hostilities.
