A strike by Ukraine’s Defense Forces on the site would sever the regiment’s communications, making the further destruction of occupying troops a matter of time and a series of powerful blows, according to Ukrainian sources.
On February 7, Ukrainian partisans said they had identified a key Russian military site belonging to the 328th Regiment of the 104th Airborne Division. Soldiers from that unit allegedly shot three Ukrainian servicemembers in Krynky on April 7, 2024, on the orders of Col. Sergey Ishtuganov.
According to a Facebook post from the partisan movement “Atesh,” the command post is located in the village of Nizhniye Torgai in the Henichesk district of Kherson region, at coordinates 46.783545, 34.243317.
The group said a satellite dish has been set up for concealment in a seized private home with a destroyed roof; an R-142N command-staff vehicle is parked nearby, and personnel have been observed.
Troops from the 328th Regiment have repeatedly been accused of crimes against local residents. The unit’s commanders allegedly set an example for subordinates by punishing, torturing and even shooting their own troops for minor infractions.
Partisans say they photographed all the locations and that the data are now in the hands of Ukraine’s Armed Forces. They claim a strike by Ukrainian missiles or drones on the command post would sow chaos among Russian troops, disrupt coordination with other units and pave the way for the regiment’s further destruction in Kherson region.
On February 5, partisans struck St. Petersburg, cutting communications to an FSB institute and defense industry plants.
Earlier, on January 18, Atesh partisans attacked a key substation in Bryansk, cutting power to defense facilities, storage bases and the Polpinskaya station, through which weapons trains for the Russian army pass.
