| [Telegraph] British volunteer fighters may have triggered deadly strike on Ukrainian base after their phones were detected The Telegraph has learned that 12 to 14 phone numbers starting with +44 were visible to surveillance equipment before the missile strike British volunteer fighters are feared to have triggered a deadly airstrike on a Ukrainian military base after their phones were detected in the area, the Telegraph can reveal. At least 35 people were killed, potentially including three British ex-special forces troops, when 30 Russian cruise missiles pulverised the Yavoriv facility, near the Polish border, on March 13. The target on the base is believed to have been the International Centre for Peacekeeping and Security, where Ukraine has been training foreign civilian recruits for its international brigade. Now, the Telegraph has learned that around 12 to 14 phone numbers starting with +44 were visible to surveillance equipment in the area in the hours before the missile strike. Mobile phone numbers can become visible to snooping technology when the device pings a nearby phone mast to connect to the network so a user can make calls or send texts. |

| #2 12 to 14 phone numbers starting with +44 were visible to surveillance equipment before the missile strike A clever bit of signals intelligence. Pro tip: on the modern battlefield, you don't want to be radiating. Even a dumb phone connects to the cell network. |
