The Atesh partisan movement reported sabotage on the railway in Voronezh, which resulted in the destruction of a diesel locomotive used to transport military cargo to supply Russian forces in the Kupiansk direction, disrupting the logistics of the Russian forces.
The announced deployment of the Russian Oreshnik missile complex in Belarus is more of a demonstrative nature, as the revealed materials do not confirm the presence of full combat duty and do not show the key elements of the system, which casts doubt on the real readiness of the complex for use.
