The partisan group Atesh has claimed responsibility for a sabotage operation targeting railway lines near missile and artillery depots in Russia's Tver region, the group reported on January 2.
According to Atesh on Telegram, the sabotaged railway segment is vital for transporting ammunition from the 23rd and 107th arsenals of Russia’s Main Missile and Artillery Directorate to the front lines. These depots are integral to Russia's military logistics, housing critical munitions and weaponry.

The 107th Arsenal, located in Toropets, covers about 5 square kilometers and stores Iskander and Tochka-U ballistic missiles, large-caliber artillery shells, and ammunition for rocket systems like Smerch and Grad.
South of Toropets is the 23rd Arsenal, a smaller facility that holds tank and artillery shells, mines, mortar rounds, anti-tank missiles, and guided projectiles.
Atesh stated that these depots are a major source of supplies for Russian forces on the front lines. The sabotage operation disrupted key supply routes, making it harder for Russia to transport ammunition and weakening its ability to sustain its military efforts.
This attack is part of a broader campaign announced by Ukraine’s Main Directorate of Intelligence (HUR) on December 29.
The campaign involves targeting Russian military infrastructure, including damaging railways and destroying communication systems, in both occupied Ukrainian territories and Russia itself.
