Ukrainian military intelligence units have successfully recaptured the Vovchansk aggregate plant from Russian forces after months of intense fighting, including hand-to-hand combat. The operation, conducted by the Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR), resulted in the complete liberation of the plant's territory and the destruction of Russian occupiers in all 30 buildings of the plant. This strategic victory forced Russian troops to withdraw from northern Vovchansk, giving Ukraine fire control over the area. The plant had been occupied by Russian forces for four months, and its recapture marks a significant achievement for Ukraine's military efforts in the northeast region.
