Three soldiers from the Chechen Akhmat Battalion, known as the TikTok soldiers due to their staged combat videos shared on social media, have been reported to have fallen ill with the hantavirus disease.

Also headaches and back pain, with more extreme cases resulting in kidney damage and bleeding from the eyes. Russian and Ukrainian soldiers have previously dubbed the disease "mouse fever".
