In December 2025, during a special operation in the Zaporizhzhia sector, a sabotage and reconnaissance group of the ‘Brotherhood’ unit, part of the ‘Tymur Special Unit’ of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, conducted a deep raid into the enemy rear in the area of the Kakhovka Reservoir.
This was reported on January 7 by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
During the combat mission, military intelligence officers eliminated two Russian occupiers, wounded two, and captured two more.
After that, the fighters of the Brotherhood unit conducted a complex and prolonged escort of the prisoners — over a distance of approximately 27 kilometers — and brought them out to territory controlled by Ukraine.
The captured Russians provided valuable information on the locations of enemy officers, artillery positions, UAV operators, areas of concentration of personnel, equipment, and ammunition depots.
The operation confirmed serious gaps in the enemy’s frontline defense system: the enemy does not expect active actions by Ukrainian intelligence deep within its positions and is unable to offer effective resistance in the rear.
“After the operation, Lieutenant General Kyrylo Budanov awarded the fighters and commanders of the Brotherhood unit with state and departmental awards”, — the DIU said.
