Agents of the Ukrainian partisan movement ATESH carried out a successful sabotage operation on a railway near Simferopol, Crimea, temporarily halting train traffic and disrupting Russian supply routes to the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia fronts, the group said on Sunday.
The ATESH movement operates as part of a wider network of Ukrainian partisans active in Russian-occupied territories. These underground groups carry out sabotage and intelligence gathering targeting supply lines, military bases, and occupation authorities, particularly in Crimea, where they aim to undermine Russia’s control and disrupt its military logistics.
According to ATESH, the attack targeted a key logistical artery used by Russian occupation forces to transport ammunition, fuel, and military equipment. The movement said the operation caused a direct interruption in deliveries to frontline units.
“The ATESH movement continues to systematically destroy the enemy’s transport infrastructure. Even deep in the rear in Crimea, the occupiers cannot feel safe,” the group stated on Telegram.
Crimea, illegally annexed by Russia in 2014, has seen a surge in partisan and drone activity aimed at weakening the peninsula’s role as a military hub for the invasion of Ukraine.
