According to Atesh, the sabotage attack took place in the village of Mohyltsy, where one of its agents destroyed equipment at a transformer substation supplying electricity and telecommunications to the area.
The partisans did not specify exactly when the sabotage occurred.
As a result of the attack, communications were reportedly disrupted at several key military facilities, including the 629th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment (military unit 51857), the 21st Separate Operational Brigade (military unit 3641), and a military town housing units 20007, 03523, and 51084.
Communication problems were also reported at the 483rd Military Investigative Department of Russia’s Investigative Committee and a SberLogistics distribution warehouse that services Defense Ministry contracts.
“The disruption of communications and power supply caused chaos in command, hindered planning, and disrupted coordination among military facilities,” the report read.

On May 5, partisans reported destroying another transformer substation in the Russian Saratov region, which cut power to two cellular base stations.
Those stations provide communications for critical sites, including the GazPromMash oil refinery, the Pirogrup plant, and a Russian military mobilization center.
In late April, Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) announced the destruction of a Russian Su-30SM fighter jet in what it called a “successful sabotage operation.”
A video posted by the agency showed the aircraft burning in the distance, with the message: “Resistance to Putinism is growing.”
According to HUR, the incident took place at the Rostov-on-Don Central airfield, where the jet reportedly caught fire and was completely destroyed. The agency said that saboteurs managed to infiltrate the airfield and destroy the aircraft, identified by the tail number “35.” The Su-30SM is estimated to be worth around $50 million.
“The scale of forces ready to resist the Kremlin and carry out acts of demilitarization of the aggressor state is growing,” the HUR statement said.
