Quote: "In wartime, every detail matters – all actions are significant. A single report published without consent can provide the enemy with coordinates. An unrestrained comment can be used for intelligence. Excessive information can lead to attacks and casualties."
The video narrates a story about a supposed report from a civilian enterprise producing drones. According to the plot, it was after the broadcast of this video on television that the enemy acquired data that resulted in an attack, destroying the production facility and causing numerous casualties.
"Everyone working with sensitive information must act responsibly and follow information security protocols. This video serves as a reminder for every journalist, military member, public figure, or official: silence is also a weapon. The enemy is listening! Stay vigilant!", emphasized the General Staff.
