The Defense Forces of Ukraine, in cooperation with agents of the Atesh partisan movement, carried out a sabotage operation and struck russian military railway convoys in the occupied part of Zaporizhzhia Oblast. This was reported on the movement's social media accounts on Sunday, November 16.
Ukrainian partisans carried out a successful sabotage operation near the village of Novobohdanivka in the Melitopol district. During the night, they set fire to a relay cabinet on a key section of the railway, immediately paralyzing the movement of russian military trains.

"Since the site of the sabotage is located only 50 km from the front line, the blocked trains became an ideal target. The Defense Forces of Ukraine were able to quickly deliver a precise missile and artillery strike against them," the statement reads.
The destruction of trains and damage to railway infrastructure has temporarily disrupted supplies to russian occupation forces in the Kherson region and part of the Zaporizhzhia direction. The lack of ammunition and fuel has already affected the intensity of the occupiers' combat operations in these areas.
Earlier Defense Express reported that the Atesh partisans had disrupted russian logistics in occupied Crimea. We also wrote that russian occupiers had faced major air defense issues in Zaporizhzhia sector.
