This, he said, increases the level of security in the region.

“Local residents are increasingly involved in the work, knowing full well that their safety depends on the quality work of the Russian security forces,” TASS quoted Rogov as saying.

He added that thanks to vigilant local residents, about three-quarters of the discovered caches have been discovered.

Earlier it was reported that the Russian Armed Forces hit a group of special forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Zaporozhye direction at night.

It was also reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine created a new defense echelon in the suburbs of Zaporozhye due to the loss of Kamensky.
