Ukrainian partisans claim sabotage at Russian plant supplying missiles Moscow uses to bomb Ukrainian cities
ATESH says its agent disabled the power supply at the Voronezh facility, disrupting production of components used in Russian weapons.
Pro-Ukrainian partisan group ATESH alleges it disrupted the power supply to a Russian semiconductor plant in Voronezh, which manufactures electronic components crucial for Russia's missile systems. In a statement released on September 16, ATESH claimed one of its agents infiltrated an electrical substation near the Voronezh Semiconductor Devices Plant (VZPP-S) and destroyed the main distribution cabinet, causing a significant voltage surge that shut down production workshops.
The group stated that full power was not restored for several weeks, leading to delays in the production and delivery of components for Russian weapons, including Kh-101 cruise missiles, Iskander-K missiles, and Pantsir-S1 air defense systems. While ATESH's claims have not been independently verified, the group says it regularly publishes reports of sabotage against Russian military and defense-industrial targets.
The targeted plant has previously been attacked in June, with Ukraine's military intelligence asserting it produces components for Kh-101 missiles, 9M727 cruise missiles, and Pantsir-S1 air defense systems.
