Russian troops are reinforcing the defense of temporarily occupied Crimea. According to the partisan movement ATESH, after successful Ukrainian strikes on military targets in Crimea and battlefield victories, the occupiers have begun constructing new fortifications on the peninsula.

"Following successful Ukrainian attacks on military facilities in Crimea and victories on the battlefield, the occupiers have started building new fortifications on the peninsula. 'ATESH' has formed groups that travel throughout Crimea to gather information about defensive structures. We will do everything possible to support their successful breakthrough by the Armed Forces of Ukraine," the partisans promised.

The following structures have already been identified near Feodosia:

• "Dragon's Teeth" were observed from the side of Feodosia (45.156696, 35.578420).
• Fortifications and defenses were seen from the side of Batalne (45.178972, 35.560656).

The Center for National Resistance, citing sources in Crimea, adds that a transfer of air defense assets to Simferopol has also been detected:

"Russian military personnel have received new orders to enhance the defensive capabilities of the occupation forces on the peninsula."
