Ukrainian partisans sabotage key railway hub in Russia's Rostov Oblast, group claims
Members of the Ukrainian partisan group Atesh sabotaged a key railway supply hub near the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, disrupting Russian logistics to occupied territories, the group claimed on Dec. 21.
Atesh operatives set fire at a railway hub in Bataysk, in Russia’s Rostov Oblast, which Russian troops use to supply their forces in occupied parts of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Donetsk oblasts, as well as Crimea.
According to the group, the station is used to supply troops and military vehicles to the southern front.
“As a result of the arson, the work of the main logistics hub, through which the occupation forces are supplied in all southern directions, was disrupted," the group wrote on Telegram.
The Kyiv Independent could not verify these claims at the time of publication.
The Atesh group regularly conducts sabotage at military sites in occupied Ukrainian territory and deep within Russia.
Earlier last month, partisans reported a sabotage operation against an electric locomotive allegedly used for transporting military cargo from the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don.
