ATESH partisans have disrupted communications between the Russians. A telecommunications cabinet at a key communications tower was destroyed in the village of Gornyi Shchit in the Sverdlovsk region, according to the ATESH movement.
"Our agents continue to target Russian military infrastructure deep in the rear. In the settlement of Gornyi Shchit, a telecommunications cabinet at a key communications tower, which provided operational command and secure data transmission channels for the headquarters of the Central Military District, was successfully destroyed," the statement reads.
Gornyi Shchit is a critical hub for Russian military logistics. The disabled facility directly coordinated the transfer of reserves and equipment heading toward the Pokrovsk direction.
"The sabotage paralyzed the information exchange system for the 90th Guards Tank Division, whose main assembly points and rear supply bases are tied specifically to this sector of the Sverdlovsk region," the partisans report.
The consequences for the Russians are already being felt: the disruption of reliable communications has led to a failure in the operation of automated rear command and control systems. This has created a blind spot in coordination between the distribution centers in the Urals and frontline units, causing disruptions to train loading schedules and the dispatch of marching companies.
"The Urals are no longer a safe fortress for the regime. Any infrastructure serving the war machine will burn, from command centers to field communication nodes. While Putin’s generals try to advance on the front lines, we are systematically destroying their nervous system deep in the rear," adds ATESH.
The movement says that every burned-out warehouse means chaos in Russia’s logistics and lives saved for Ukrainian defenders. We find vulnerabilities and strike precisely at the target.
Recently, ATESH carried out sabotage on the railway in occupied Luhansk, which was Russia’s only stable logistics route from Russia to the front lines.
Before this, the movement’s partisans carried out a successful sabotage operation near Sevastopol, dedicated to Crimea Resistance Day. The agents managed to disable communication facilities, particularly those interfering with the operation of Ukrainian drones.
