What is known about the new DIU operation?
According to Ukrainian intelligence officers, on the morning of July 16, 2025, a powerful explosion thundered on the outskirts of the temporarily occupied city of Tokmak, Zaporizhia region.
After that, a green UAZ 452 took off into the air.
Inside the "loaf" were two Russian occupiers — members of the aerial reconnaissance crew who specialized in using the Skat 350M UAV, — the GUR reports.
What is important to understand is that the Russian occupiers used this drone to identify the positions of Ukrainian soldiers in the Zaporizhia region and adjust artillery fire.
Ukrainian intelligence officers managed to destroy both Russian operators along with the Skat 350M UAV, which they were transporting in a “loaf”.
The Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reminds that there will be fair retribution for every war crime committed against the Ukrainian people. Glory to Ukraine! — the intelligence officers' statement reads.
