Quote: "In wartime, nothing is trivial – everything counts. A single report made without approval can provide coordinates to the enemy. An unrestrained comment can become a target for intelligence. Excessive publication can lead to strikes and losses."
The video narrates a story about a report from a civilian facility producing drones. According to the plot, after airing this footage on television, the enemy received information for an attack that resulted in the destruction of production capabilities and numerous casualties.
"Everyone working with sensitive information must act responsibly and adhere to information security protocols. This video serves as a reminder for every journalist, military member, activist, or official: silence is also a weapon. The enemy is listening! Stay vigilant!" emphasized the General Staff.
