Ukrainian partisans disrupted the weapons supply schedule for the Russian military group in the Kursk region, according to the ATESH partisan movement.
Partisans disabled a relay cabinet on the railway line in the suburb of Yasnogorsk in the Tula region (Russia). The track leads toward the Kursk region, where a group of Russians is concentrated.
"This operation was carefully planned: the damaged relay cabinet controls communication and the switching points on a critical section of the railway. Without a timely power supply, automated systems cannot reroute trains, causing significant delays in freight train traffic," the statement says.
The ATESH movement noted that the main goal of the attack is to slow down the delivery of weapons and military equipment to the front line.
"Every delayed fuel tanker, every disrupted ammunition convoy directly affects the combat capability and supply of Russian troops. All this delays the deployment of reserves and complicates the organization of new offensive operations," the movement emphasized.
The partisans also released photo and video evidence of the sabotage.
Ukrainian partisans activity
Ukrainian partisans are actively conducting rear-guard operations against the Russian army in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine and within Russia itself.
Recently, agents of the ATESH movement discovered that Russian forces are actively preparing for a massive drone strike on Crimea.
The partisans also carried out a sabotage operation behind enemy lines in the temporarily occupied Kherson region.
Earlier, ATESH agents conducted reconnaissance at an important defense factory in Saint Petersburg.
