An explosion rocked a Russian National Guard base near Khabarovsk—around 6,000 kilometers from Ukraine—killing and injuring troops who had previously fought in Russia’s war against Ukraine, a source in Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence Directorate told Ukrinform on September 8.
According to the source, two explosive devices detonated in a parking lot next to military unit 6912 just after 9 a.m., at the exact time Russian soldiers were arriving for duty.
“There are dead and wounded among the enemy personnel,” the source said.
Following the blasts, Russian security services reportedly shut down mobile internet access in the area and altered public transport routes to prevent locals from learning the truth about the incident.
Military unit 6912, formally the 748th Separate Operational Battalion of Russia’s National Guard (Rosgvardia), has documented involvement in Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Open-source data shows the unit took part in battles near Kyiv in early 2022, including Bucha and Irpin, where Russian troops committed mass killings of civilians.
Earlier, HUR cyber units carried out a large-scale operation against Russia, disrupting fuel payment systems, telecommunications infrastructure, and dozens of online resources.
