Details: It is reported that a communications tower belonging to a military unit was destroyed.

Quote: "This tower served as a communications and command hub for a unit of the Russian Armed Forces. It provided secure radio-relay communications for the rapid exchange of information and orders between command and subordinate air defence units.

The tower was also used to house electronic intelligence and signal interception equipment, which is critical for gathering intelligence and maintaining overall control of the situation in the region."

Details: Atesh said that by setting the tower on fire, they had "weakened air defence capabilities in central Russia".
