Representatives of the underground resistance carried out a sabotage operation in areas temporarily controlled by Russian forces in southern Ukraine. As a result of the partisans' actions, the enemy's logistics were disrupted on the railway section between Novooleksiivka-Melitopol, according to the Telegram channel of the partisan movement ATESH.

It is reported that electrical equipment in a relay cabinet was destroyed in the settlement of Oleksiivka, Kherson region, near the administrative border with occupied Crimea.

The movement highlights that the railway line Novooleksiivka-Melitopol supplies Russian troops in the Zaporizhzhia region, who are currently actively assaulting Ukrainian positions.

"We have received information that the Russian police are alarmed and are actively searching for our agent, but they will not find him," the ATESH movement stated.

Additionally, coordinates were released: 46.262497255, 34.677796341, along with footage of the sabotage operation.

Earlier, the ATESH movement had destroyed a relay cabinet near Armiansk, disrupting the supply of Russian military equipment and ammunition from occupied Crimea to the Kherson region.

Additionally, it was reported that the partisans had previously carried out a sabotage operation on the railway line connecting Rostov-on-Don with the temporarily occupied Mariupol in the Donetsk region.
