Partisans of the Atesh movement disrupted Russian supply lines in the Kharkiv direction

Agents of the Atesh movement carried out another successful act of sabotage in the rear of Russian occupying forces. This time, their target was a substation in the Voronezh region, the disabling of which disrupted the supply of Russian troops in the Kharkiv direction.

This was reported on the Telegram channel of Atesh.

The partisan movement stated that the sabotage was carried out in the settlement of Stakhanivske, directly impacting the logistics of the occupying forces.

“In the area of the settlement of Stakhanivske, a transformer at a substation supplying power to military unit 42706 — the GRAU Arsenal — as well as the 1060th Material and Technical Support Center of the Russian Armed Forces, was set on fire and seriously damaged,” the statement said.

The agents explained that these facilities are responsible for the accumulation and distribution of ammunition, weapons, and equipment for Russian units operating near the border and directly on the front line.

As a result of the fire, the substation equipment was disabled, leading to a complete power outage at both facilities.

“The GRAU Arsenal and the logistics center lost stable power supply: the operation of cargo equipment, storage systems, and internal logistics was disrupted. The supply of ammunition and matériel to the front line was effectively frozen,” the publication states.

Summarizing, Atesh added that warehouses and supply centers are the lifeblood of the army. Without stable infrastructure, the chain is broken. As a result, cargo is delayed, units receive insufficient ammunition, and combat effectiveness declines.

It is also recalled that on April 18, in temporarily occupied Luhansk, a power substation supplying a railway logistics hub for Russian military cargo was disabled as a result of sabotage.

Earlier, agents of the Atesh partisan movement carried out two simultaneous acts of sabotage on a railway section between Stary Oskol and Urazove in the Kharkiv region.

In addition, Atesh agents conducted a successful sabotage operation on a strategically important railway line connecting Bryansk with the Sumy direction.
