Agents of the partisan movement ATESH have damaged several communication towers in the areas of Putilkovo, Kommunarka, and Domodedovo in Russia's Moscow region.

The group announced this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

According to the statement, the sites were equipped with electronic warfare (EW) modules used for tracking low-flying targets, transmitting data, and coordinating between air defense units.

The group claimed that after the sabotage, the near-range air defense system around Moscow lost part of its observation points. It said that without these devices, data on low-altitude targets is no longer transmitted in time, reducing reaction speed and leaving some routes uncovered.
