Overview

• ATESH reported its agents took a key communications tower out of service about 100 km inside Russia, describing it as central to coordinating occupying forces and border contingents.
• The group said the targeted command network supported the Russian Border Service, the 84th Separate Guards Engineering Road Battalion, and a regiment of Rosgvardiya.
• According to ATESH, the outage broke coordination between units and caused chaos in the command system, leading to a temporary loss of control over a critical border area.
• Ukrinform relayed the account from ATESH’s Telegram posts, and the coverage noted no independent verification.
• Separately, ATESH claimed a day earlier that embedded agents provided precise data on Buk‑M1 sites near Tokmak—including schedules and resupply timing—which it says enabled a Ukrainian strike on air defenses.
