Agents of the ATESH partisan movement burned down a communications tower belonging to an air defense unit in the Moscow region.

According to Ukrinform, ATESH reported this on Telegram.

“Our agents carried out a successful sabotage operation in the Moscow region, striking an element of the air defense system of the 5th Air Defense Division, part of the Russian Air and Space Forces' anti-aircraft missile forces. We destroyed the communications tower of the military unit,” the message says.

ATESH emphasized that this tower was a communication and control point for the Russian Armed Forces unit. It provided secure radio relay communication for the operational exchange of information and orders between the command and subordinate air defense units. The tower also housed radio-electronic reconnaissance and signal interception equipment, which is crucial for gathering information and maintaining overall control of the situation in the region.

"The destruction of this communications node weakens the air defense capabilities in the central region of Russia. Disrupted coordination, management, and loss of intelligence data make the entire system less effective and vulnerable. We are proving that the enemy's rear is not a safe zone. ATESH agents are working in the central regions of Russia, weakening the key military capabilities of the Russian Armed Forces," the partisan movement emphasized.
