Rail insurgents carry out disruptions on the railway network in Zaporozhye region, Ukraine
In a recent development, the partisan movement "ATESH" has disrupted railway traffic to the temporarily occupied city of Berdyansk in the Zaporizhzhia region. The disruption occurred near the settlement of Sholkove, due to the burning of a crucial relay cabinet responsible for railway signaling and communication.
This deliberate action by ATESH has resulted in a delay of fuel supplies for the occupation forces on the Zaporizhzhia direction, aiming to hinder their logistical support and operational capacity. The chosen location for the partisan action is significant as it regularly transports military cargo, including equipment, fuel, and personnel.
ATESH has not repeated their actions at a different location, nor have they provided details about the specific military cargo affected by the sabotage or mentioned any specific dates or times for their actions. They have, however, published photos and videos of the partisan sabotage as visual evidence of their actions.
This railway disruption is not the first instance of ATESH targeting critical railway infrastructure used by Russian forces. Previously, they have carried out similar actions in other occupied territories and Russian regions, such as near Volgograd and Crimea, where they have damaged relay cabinets and derailed ammunition trains.
The aim of these actions is to disrupt the flow of weapons and reinforcements to Russian units, thus bleeding the supply chains of the occupation forces. This operation in Berdyansk is part of ongoing coordinated partisan efforts to systematically disrupt Russian military supply routes in occupied Ukrainian territories and Russian border areas.
It is important to note that no information is available about any civilian casualties or property damage resulting from the railway disruption. The partisan movement has not disclosed their future plans or actions, leaving the occupation forces and railway authorities in a state of uncertainty.
As of now, there is no information provided about any response or counteraction by the occupation forces to the railway disruption. The paralysis of the railway leading to Berdyansk continues to impact the supply lines of the occupation forces in the region.
- Due to the ongoing war-and-conflicts in Ukrainian territories, the political landscape has seen a surge in acts of resistance, such as the recent partisan sabotage by ATESH on a railway used for logistical support of occupation forces.
- In the context of general-news, crime-and-justice, the partisan movement ATESH has targeted crucial railway infrastructure as a tactic to obstruct the supply of weapons and reinforcements to Russian units, thereby potentially influencing the political climate.
