Ukraine has announced that its engineers built a nearly six-kilometer underground tunnel in the Donetsk region, where Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine continues. The passage is intended for moving troops, supplies and wounded personnel.

According to Euromaidan Press, the tunnel runs beneath what the outlet describes as a Russian drone kill zone. Moving above ground in such areas is especially dangerous, so an underground route allows people and cargo to travel to and from the front without being exposed to drone attacks.

The source does not give the exact location of the tunnel, when it was built or other technical details. The information is based on a statement from the Ukrainian side.
