Ukrainian resistance reportedly poisoned 17 Russian military officers, a report said.
Ukrainian partisans used cyanide and pesticides during a Sunday Russian Navy Day event to poison the Russian military service members, killing two, Petro Andriushchenko said on Telegram.
Russian military forces occupied Mariupol in Spring 2022 after a brutal siege that obliterated much of the city and killed thousands of civilians.
It has become an important base for the Russian military as they defend territory they've seized in south Ukraine from a Ukrainian counteroffensive.
According to a report by UK think tank The Royal United Services Institute, the Ukrainian resistance's main mission is to collect intelligence on the Russian military or help Ukrainian forces target Russian positions.
