Partisans of the “AТЕШ” movement dealt a serious blow to Russian logistics at the border between Kursk and Tula regions, effectively complicating the supply of weapons and equipment to the occupiers who are resisting Ukrainian defenders in the eastern part of the country
The statement from a responsible representative of this movement was circulated on social media, in which it is described as a sabotage aimed at delaying military supplies to Kursk, Russia. According to the partisans themselves, they carried out a targeted attack on a railway infrastructure object that plays a key role in the Russian military logistics chain. "AТЕШ" agents set fire to a relay cabinet located near Yasnogorsk in the Tula region, as stated in their report. This strategic decision was made to create chaos in the operation of railway systems that deliver military resources to the occupied territories. The representatives of the partisan movement explain that damaging this particular relay cabinet has very significant consequences for the aggressor's logistics. It manages the switching of railway tracks in a critically important section of the route. The destroyed equipment causes disruptions in the transmission of commands and the automation of train routing. As a result of such a failure, cargo trains carrying military equipment, ammunition, and other property of Russian occupational forces are delayed. Due to this sabotage, Russian troops are now forced to seek alternative routes and methods of resupplying resources to the Kursk region, which negatively affects the promptness of their combat operations. The planned operation by "AТЕШ" has opened a new front in the fight against the occupier, complicating his logistical network and casting doubt on the effectiveness of usual routing paths. The movement's representatives emphasize that this action is just one episode of their work in the enemy's rear, and they will continue to operate in ways that can maximally weaken the Russian occupiers in their attempts to hold onto the occupied territories. Logistics and supply of military resources remain critically important for continuing Ukrainian resistance and regaining control over all occupied regions.
