Ukraine executed a sabotage strike near Voskresenka in Zaporizhzhia on August 30, 2025, killing 18 Russian officers of the 35th Combined Arms Army. The operation was revealed publicly on September 18 after confirmation of the results, with reports naming senior figures such as Colonel Ilya Makhotin and Lieutenant Colonel Ruslan Shigabutdinov among the dead.
The fire-based strike engulfed the Russian command post, trapping officers inside and crippling Russia’s local leadership. At least 13 officers are confirmed dead, with 5 more presumed lost beneath the rubble. Analysts note this blow leaves Russia’s Zaporizhzhia offensive leaderless and marks one of Ukraine’s most significant sabotage operations of the war.
