Ukrainian forces executed an underground operation near Kupiansk, advancing over 15 kilometers behind Russian lines using gas pipelines. Named "Veles," the mission reportedly caught Russian troops off guard, who had previously used similar tactics. This operation followed Ukrainian forces halting Russian advances in the Kharkiv region. Concurrently, surface battles continued, resulting in over 30 Russian soldiers captured and more than 100 killed or wounded. The operation was coordinated by Ukraine's National Guard and included video evidence of the mission. Kupiansk is a crucial logistical hub, heavily impacted by Russian bombardments, with its infrastructure largely destroyed. Control of the area remains contested, with ongoing skirmishes.
