A mild autumn this year, coupled with ample food from fields left uncultivated by fighting, likely contributed to the increase in the rodent population, the summary noted.
As the weather has gotten colder, mice seek out warm spots in vehicles and defensive positions. As intelligence emphasizes, rodents will add additional pressure on the morale of soldiers on the front line.
In addition, rodents pose a danger to military equipment by chewing cables. This was recorded in the same area during World War II.
“Unverified reports also suggest that Russian units have begun to suffer from an increase in cases of the disease, which troops attribute to a pest problem,” the intelligence notes.
Situation at the front
Now the majority of the Ukrainian military is on active defense and attacks whenever possible. In particular, in the Bakhmut and Zaporozhye region.
Recently it became known that Ukrainian soldiers recaptured one of the waste heaps from the invaders in the Gorlovka area of the Donetsk region. The fighters also managed to capture enemy positions.
More details about the situation on the front line can be found in the RBC-Ukraine article.
