ATESH Partisan Strike Paralyzes Railway Supplying Fuel to Russian Defense Plants

Partisans deep inside Russia have paralyzed a railway line used to deliver fuel and equipment to military factories, proving once again that there are no safe havens left for the occupiers.

This was reported by the partisan movement ATESH via Telegram on August 29.

According to ATESH, its agents conducted a sabotage mission on a railway branch in Kostroma, where they destroyed a relay cabinet.

The railway network in Kostroma plays a key role in transporting fuel, military hardware, and components to defense plants located in central Russia. The destruction of the traffic control system has led to disruptions in train schedules and delays in supplies, undermining the stability of the Russian army’s entire logistics network.

“Kostroma is not a border region, but the depths of Russia. That makes the strike even more significant: the enemy had convinced itself that nothing could threaten it here. But now the ground is burning beneath the occupiers’ feet even in places where they once believed they were safe,” ATESH stated.

In a separate operation, the ATESH partisan group targeted a railway in Russia’s Far East. On August 24, an agent destroyed a relay cabinet on a stretch of track in Primorsky Krai, disrupting train movements and delaying the delivery of military cargo bound for Moscow’s war effort.

The group pledged to continue striking at Russian military logistics “everywhere—especially where they believe nothing threatens them.”

Earlier, after repeated Ukrainian drone strikes on the Shahed assembly plant in Yelabuga, Russian authorities in Tatarstan erected towers fitted with Pantsir air-defense systems. Yet, according to the ATESH partisan group, these improvised defenses are unlikely to protect the facility.
