Partisans from the Atesh movement have reported a successful sabotage operation behind the lines of Russian forces in the temporarily occupied Kherson region, the Atesh Telegram channel reports.
In particular, in the Henichesk district, a vehicle equipped for working with UAVs and electronic warfare, used by Russian forces, was destroyed.
According to the partisans, surveillance revealed that Russian soldiers were living in the homes of local residents and disguising military equipment as civilian, hiding it in private yards. However, even this did not save them.
"Tired after completing another mission, the operators parked the vehicle near their temporary shelter - that's when we struck," the statement says.
Atesh notes that after losing this equipment, the enemy military group will not be able to resume its tasks in the near future. Given the shortage of equipment in the Russian army, this weakens the enemy's position in that area.
Furthermore, partisans from the Atesh movement add that so-called "volunteers" are unlikely to bring a new vehicle - logistics for the Russian troops keep getting worse.

Ukrainian partisans continue to conduct reconnaissance of Russian invaders' positions in the temporarily occupied territories.
They also discovered weak points in the enemy defense of the Balaklava Bay in Crimea.
Furthermore, in the temporarily occupied territories of the Kherson region, Russian forces are turning the stolen facilities of one enterprise into military warehouses.
