Russian military forces reportedly engaged in a destructive confrontation among themselves
In the region of Kherson, which is partly occupied by Kremlin troops, a chaotic firefight was reportedly witnessed between two Russian units on August 19, 2021. The incident was first reported by the pro-Ukrainian partisan group, Atesh, and has since been the subject of ongoing investigations.
According to Atesh, the clash involved the 24th Motorized Infantry Regiment and the 127th Reconnaissance Brigade. The organization alleges that the soldiers of the 24th Regiment opened fire on positions of the 127th Brigade, causing the latter to alert a reserve unit.
The cause of the altercation is currently under investigation by the Russian military authorities. However, Atesh claims that their actions were intended to hit the enemy at their weak points or pave the way for follow-up troops.
The figures provided by Atesh regarding the casualties cannot be independently verified. They claim that 21 Russian soldiers were reportedly killed and 17 injured in the clashes. Reports suggest that there are dozens of dead and injured soldiers as a result of the incident.
Members of Atesh are known to actively recruit resistance fighters among Russian troops on social media and with leaflets to obtain information. They are also reported to spy on Russian positions and carry out small-scale attacks, such as disrupting the logistics of Kremlin forces.
The atmosphere within the Russian troop units is said to be tense, with soldiers mistrusting and suspecting each other. Commanders of the Russian units fear new conflicts as a result of these incidents.
After the incident, the Russian units reportedly initiated investigations into the cause of the clash. The results of these investigations have not yet been made public.
This article provides additional context about Atesh's activities and tactics. The source of this information is ntv.de and rog. It is important to note that the claims made by Atesh about the clash between the Russian units are yet to be independently verified.
