Ukrainian partisans declared they had killed 24 Russian soldiers in Crimea by contaminating their vodka.

An additional 11 soldiers required medical attention, as broadcasted by the Crimean Combat Seagulls group on Telegram.

Both Russia and Ukraine have been dealing with instances of poisoning in the past few months.

The Ukrainian partisans alleged they had eliminated 24 Russian soldiers in Crimea by contaminating their vodka with arsenic and strychnine as stated in a Telegram post that was published last Saturday.

The Crimean Combat Seagulls, a Ukrainian partisan group, mentioned that warm welcomes complete with edibles were extended to the soldiers by “nice girls”. This information was relayed by Kyiv Post through a translation.

The group further acknowledged the unique taste of arsenic and strychnine they consumed. The Kyiv Post translation indicated that the incident led to the death of 24 Russian soldiers and the hospitalization of 11.

The Kremlin Snuffbox, used an unnamed source to reveal that the trick played on the unit in Simferopol, Crimea, where “two nice girls” had tricked them into drinking vodka spiked excessively with arsenic and strychnine, was one to remember.

“The men took the vodka and food, ate and drank with their colleagues and many were poisoned,” the unnamed source was quoted saying.

It is unclear when the alleged poisoning happened.

Business Insider could not independently verify the reports.

This is not the first time Ukrainian partisans have claimed similar attacks on Russian troops in occupied territories.

In October, Ukrainian resistance fighters said they had killed 26 Russian soldiers in occupied Mariupol by “feeding” them poison, the Kyiv Post reported at the time.

Petro Andriushchenko, an advisor to the mayor of Mariupol, said in a Telegram post in August that Ukrainian resistance forces poisoned 17 Russian military officers there as they were celebrating Navy Day in the southern Ukrainian port, killing two.

The other 15 were taken to the hospital in serious condition, he said.

Apti Alaudinov, a Russian commander of the Akhmat special forces, was also poisoned after handling a letter sent to him in February, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov said in a Telegram post at the time.

Meanwhile, Marianna Budanova, the wife of Ukraine’s defense intelligence agency chief, Kyrylo Budanov, was diagnosed with heavy metal poisoning in November, a spokesperson for the agency told the Associated Press last month.

While officials did not provide further details about the case, it can be inferred from the couple’s cohabitation that the poison was likely intended for Budanov, as AP reported.
