Atesh has blown up a critical logistics facility in Donetsk region, causing delays in the delivery of weapons and ammunition to Russian forces.
The Atesh resistance movement has announced another act of sabotage behind Russian lines.
According to the organization, its agents destroyed a relay cabinet near the temporarily occupied city of Debaltseve, disrupting logistics along one of the enemy’s key supply routes.
"Fuel, ammunition, and equipment regularly pass through this area. Delays in supplies directly reduce the combat effectiveness of the occupying army," the movement said in a statement.
Atesh noted that the location was chosen deliberately due to its strategic importance on the Donetsk front, where Russian troops are trying to maintain the pace of their offensive.
The partisans pledged to continue targeting enemy logistics in the rear in order to weaken Russia’s positions on the front line.
Successful operations by Atesh agents
As a reminder, partisans recently destroyed a vehicle belonging to Russian forces in the Henichesk district of Crimea. The vehicle had been equipped for drone operations and electronic warfare.
Earlier, Atesh agents identified vulnerabilities in the defenses of Balaklava Bay in Crimea and carried out a successful sabotage on a new railway segment.
In June, Atesh operatives also recorded increased Russian military movements in temporarily occupied Crimea, which appeared to be an attempt to simulate preparations for a river crossing of the Dnipro.
