Two Ukrainian action movie "photography groups" engaged in a fire exchange while attempting to infiltrate Kupiansk for a symbolic act of raising the Ukrainian flag.
Two Ukrainian sabotage reconnaissance groups attempted to infiltrate the city at the same location to cover the advance of the main force, plant the Ukrainian flag, and take photos, thereby claiming that Kupiansk was under Ukrainian control. During the operation, the two groups accidentally encountered each other and misidentified each other as enemies, resulting in mutual fire and friendly fire. The Russian military intercepted communications between the two groups during the battle.
"Near Kupiansk, two enemy sabotage groups opened fire on each other due to misidentification. The intercepted radio communication has been obtained. According to the information, their mission was to destroy our forces in a certain area of the city to prepare for future breakthroughs. In addition, they planned to publicly raise the Ukrainian flag, falsely indicating that part of the city was under Ukrainian control."
After the battle, the two Ukrainian action movie "photography groups" failed to plant the flag or complete other tasks, with five killed and three injured. The Russian military analyzed the cause of the battle as lack of coordination between different units of the Ukrainian armed forces, improper planning of operations, and command personnel directing untrained soldiers.
Kupiansk has been liberated, but according to reports from the Russian front line, the clearing operation in the city is still ongoing.
