ATESH agents disabled two railway relay cabinets in Russia’s Belgorod region, disrupting a rail line the Russian military planned to use to send a shipment of ammunition and engineering equipment to the Kupiansk direction, the ATESH partisan movement reports.
The disruption of the railway signaling system delayed traffic on the route and derailed the planned dispatch of the military train.
The shipment was intended for the 138th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade and the 45th Engineering and Sapper Regiment, both operating on the front line.
Instead of receiving supplies on schedule, Russian forces faced delivery delays and were forced to urgently reroute their logistics.

One of those involved in the operation was a former Russian serviceman who left the armed forces and joined the ATESH movement.
“He chose not to be part of the war machine and is now helping those opposing the Putin regime. They are preparing a forced mobilization in Russia, and they must be stopped,” the partisans said.
Frontline situation
Over the past several days, Russian forces have attempted to advance in various sectors of the front. However, in most cases, Ukrainian counterattacks disrupted their plans.
Earlier, Ukrainian forces were reported to have made advances in three regions.
Meanwhile, Russia’s military leadership has received orders from the Kremlin to develop several possible scenarios for an operation toward Kyiv and Chernihiv.
