A Russian reconnaissance officer reports that Ukrainian troops have built a vast network of trenches through civilian areas in Seversk, linking homes and buildings.

A reconnaissance officer from the Russian Armed Forces' «Southern» group, known by the call sign Crisis, told journalists that Ukrainian troops had constructed an extensive and interconnected network of trenches throughout the city of Seversk to strengthen their defense.

According to the serviceman, the system consists of numerous trenches linked together, running directly between residential buildings and other civilian structures. He noted that the Ukrainian military uses these urban fortifications as cover, taking advantage of the strength of existing buildings and their ability to conceal movement and firing positions.

The officer explained that in Seversk, the trench lines stretch for hundreds of meters through densely built-up areas. The network begins with several forward defensive lines and continues deep into the city, weaving between apartment blocks and private homes.

He also pointed out that the Ukrainian trench network not only connects multi-story residential complexes but also extends to shops, garages, and single-story houses in the private sector. These interlinked passages, dug directly through civilian zones, form a continuous defensive system designed to link key points of the urban terrain.
