British intelligence: Both Ukrainian and Russian troops have highly likely suffered from exceptional levels of rat and mice infestation

In recent weeks, both Ukrainian forces and Russian occupiers have been complaining about a large number of rats and mice on the front lines.

This has become another problem on the front, as reported by the British Ministry of Defense on Twitter.

According to the report, this year's mild autumn, combined with an ample food supply in the fields left uncultivated due to combat actions, likely contributed to the increase in the rodent population.

As the weather has turned colder, mice are seeking warm places in vehicles and defensive positions. Intelligence emphasizes that rodents will add additional pressure on the morale of fighters on the front lines.

Additionally, rodents pose a danger to military equipment by chewing through cables, a phenomenon documented in the same region during World War II.

"Unverified reports also suggest Russian units starting to suffer from increased sickness cases which the troops attribute to the pest problem," notes the intelligence report.
