Drones operated by the 14th Regiment of the Special Boat Service (SBS) struck the "Varorovo" Transneft facility in Penkin, Volodymyriv region of the Russian Federation on the night of September 7th, according to Dnipro Osint. Satellite imagery confirmed damage to two fuel tanks at the facility, located at coordinates 56.176445718244345, 40.963134875798104. This incident occurred amidst reports of ongoing military equipment transfers by Russian forces. The Atesh movement stated on September 9th that military columns were observed near the village of Kirilovskoye, consisting of two BMPs, one Typhun-K armored truck, trucks, and older UAZ "Bukhanka" vehicles, along with fuel tanks and medical personnel, heading towards the front lines from the Leningrad Region. Tactical markings indicated units of the North Group. Previous reports from September 4-7 indicated the Russian Ministry of Defense was reportedly recruiting individuals with HIV and hepatitis for new military regiments, with advertisements appearing on the Avito classifieds website. This practice is said to mirror that of the Wagner Group and aims to address infectious disease prevalence within the military. Infected soldiers will allegedly wear armbands to signify their health status. Additionally, radar alerts were noted across Russia, including the Black Sea coast, between 11:45 PM UTC on September 8th and 12:15 AM UTC on September 9th, with a specific alert for "PCR Neptune" on the Black Sea coast.
