clandestine activities

Clandestine activities are secret operations intended to hide the involvement, nature, or purpose from others, often due to their sensitive or illicit nature. These activities are typically conducted covertly to avoid detection by authorities or adversaries, and may include espionage, smuggling, or sabotage. The goal is to operate discreetly to achieve specific objectives without revealing intentions or actions publicly. Such activities are distinguished from open or overt actions by their emphasis on secrecy and concealment.
