Partisans Spy on Russia’s ‘Brain Center,’ Military Sites in Occupied Sevastopol

Atesh resistance groups in occupied Crimea have conducted extensive reconnaissance of the Moscow-imposed Government Communications Department and the Federal Security Service (FSB) Alpha special forces unit in the city of Sevastopol.

According to a report published on Telegram, the Atesh agents completed a comprehensive reconnaissance of the occupation facilities which included an adjacent location where a Russian Alpha special forces unit stored FSB equipment.

The partisans noted that this cluster of buildings, equipped with numerous antennas and satellite dishes, serves as a key control center for the Russian imposed administration and security forces in Crimea.

“These strategic facilities are now the brain center of the occupiers. Through them, the actions of all security forces are coordinated, orders from the high command are transmitted, and encrypted communication with Moscow and the occupation forces on the mainland of Ukraine is also carried out,” the report said.

According to the agents, new groups of high-ranking officers have recently been deployed there from Moscow to strengthen control over the peninsula.

Despite the multi-layered security system, Atesh operatives managed to gather crucial information about operating procedures, security layouts, movement routes of personnel, and the transfer of classified documents between headquarters.

The report said its collected intelligence – including the exact coordinates of the facilities and details of their internal management structure – has already been passed to the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

Following the June 14 attack on the Palkino oil pumping station in the Yaroslavl region, seven tanks with a combined capacity of 95,000 cubic meters were confirmed destroyed.

“We see everything, even what the enemy considers to be securely hidden. The liberation of Crimea is getting closer,” Atesh says.

Additionally, according to a separate Atesh report on Oct. 21, it also investigated a strategic electronic warfare center in Sevastopol that provides protection for Russian ships, coastal defense systems, and aircraft.

Their findings indicated the center plays a key role in shielding the main base of the Black Sea Fleet, military airfields, and other strategic facilities across the peninsula.

Its neutralization, Atesh claimed, would present new opportunities for precision strikes on Russian forces.

Earlier, the partisans in Sevastopol carried out reconnaissance of the positions of Russia’s 127th Separate Reconnaissance Brigade (military unit 67606).

According to a report dated Oct. 20, the brigade – formed in 2014 after the occupation of Crimea – specializes in reconnaissance and assault operations.

The agents established the locations of the brigade’s main facilities, duty schedules at its posts, and the routes used by command personnel.

Even earlier, Atesh operatives conducted reconnaissance of anti-aircraft missile launch sites in Sevastopol and identified top-priority targets.

According to a report dated Oct. 17, during their surveillance, they documented air defense and electronic reconnaissance systems, along with details about their deployment and operating patterns.

“Our sources tracked the movement of air defense systems and established schedules for servicemen at the facility,” the report said.
