Atesh partisans disabled a transformer substation in Saratov. Important facilities for Russia were left without power, the Atesh Telegram channel reports.

The partisan movement Atesh claimed responsibility for a successful sabotage operation in Saratov, Russia.

According to members of the movement, they managed to disable a transformer substation that supplied power to critically important infrastructure facilities.

Due to the attack, the power supply to at least two mobile communication base stations was disrupted.

These particular stations serviced the city’s industrial zone, where the GazPromMash oil refinery, the Pirogroup enterprise, and a mobilization center were located. According to the partisans, this mobilization center was used to coordinate military actions against Ukraine.

"The shutdown of these communication stations will seriously complicate the coordination of the enemy's actions, disrupt logistics, and create additional problems for the occupiers in organizing their defense," the statement says.

Members of the Atesh partisan movement emphasized that they will continue to destroy infrastructure that supports Russia's military machine until all Ukrainian territories are fully liberated.

Ukrainian partisans continue to gather intelligence on the positions of Russian occupiers in temporarily occupied territories.

Partisans have also identified weak points in the defense of Balaklava Bay in Crimea.

In the temporarily occupied territories of Kherson region, Russian forces are converting stolen property from one of the local enterprises into military warehouses.
