In Saratov, partisans target electricity infrastructure

Agents of the ATESH guerilla movement disabled a transformer substation in Saratov, Russia.

The organization claimed responsibility for the attack, reporting in on Telegram, Ukrinform saw.

This sabotage effort affected the operation of critical infrastructure in the area.

"As a result, power supply to two mobile network base stations was disrupted. These facilities provided communication in areas where key industrial facilities are located, including the GazPromMash oil refinery, the Pirogrup plant, and the mobilization center, which the Russians use to coordinate their criminal actions," noted the ATESH.

The cessation of the operation of these communication bases will seriously complicate coordination and logistics of the invasion force, also creating issues for organizing defenses.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, referring to the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council, Andriy Kovalenko, after the Ukrainian strike, the Strela Plant, the producer of electronics for the defense industry, was forced to halt operations.
