Ukrainian media outlets have reported the recent arrest of an individual who has been suspected of passing intelligence related to Ukraine's sea drone program to contacts within Russia.
The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) took the mole into custody following a comprehensive examination of his activities.
At the time of his arrest, the individual was found to be in possession of a mobile phone containing classified information and what the SBU said were exchanges of messages with Russian intelligence. This device has also been confiscated.
The intelligence reportedly also included the coordinates of bases from where the Ukrainian military has been operating sea drones for strikes against Russian targets.
According to the SBU, the mole's arrest and the subsequent review of the leaked intelligence enabled the Ukrainian military to increase security at the identified bases and even prevent Russian forces from carrying out air strikes against these.
The suspect was transferring location coordinates through his phone at the time of his arrest.
