There are repeated attacks by resistance groups in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine.
Now a Russian party office has been attacked.
Kiev – Pro-Ukrainian groups in the occupied territories of Ukraine have been drawing attention to themselves for months with assassination attempts on soldiers and secret service agents, sabotage actions and other resistance actions.
Their alleged latest coup: an attack on an office of the Russian ruling party United Russia, which is behind the power apparatus of Russian head of state Vladimir Putin and is currently preparing the upcoming elections.
According to a report by the Ukrainian news site Kyiv Independent,
the location of the attack on the morning of February 27th was
the Ukrainian city of Nova Kakhovka in the Kherson region, which has been under Russian occupation since the first days of the Ukrainian war.
Because Russia counts the region as part of its national territory, people here should also take part in the Russian presidential elections.
There are also reports from the Russian side about the explosion in Nova Kakhovka.
Here, however, we are talking about a Ukrainian drone attack.

Drone attack or resistance action: Different representations from both sides
While the
Kyiv Independent
reports from the Russian side that the explosion was the result of a drone attack, presumably to cover up the existence of Ukrainian resistance, the Ukrainian Resistance Movement has claimed responsibility for the attack and called for people not to take part in the presidential elections. which they referred to as “propaganda production.”
Compatriots who help organize the electoral process would also be “held accountable for their actions.”
According to information on the Ukrainian Resistance Movement's website, the explosions resulting from the attack destroyed part of the entrance area of the party headquarters, which is said to be not far from the planned voting station.
The aim of the action was to remind the Russian occupiers of Ukraine's will to resist.
