Partisans destroy Russian locomotive, disrupting military supplies to Zaporizhzhia Oblast

Details: The partisans carried out the sabotage near the Likhaya railway station in Rostov Oblast. The locomotive was completely destroyed and cannot be restored.

They noted that the Likhaya railway hub is a key transit point for military cargo heading towards Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Trains carrying ammunition, fuel and armoured vehicles for Russian forces operating in active combat areas pass through it.

Quote: "The direct damage from the destruction of the locomotive exceeds US$150,000. But the real cost for Russia is much higher: Russian Railways are already experiencing an acute shortage of operational locomotives, and their repair capacity is practically exhausted. Every unit of traction matters, and now one more is gone.

Disabling the locomotive blocked train traffic on this section. Military trains are stuck in the rear, and supplies have been disrupted. While Russian Railways searches for a replacement, Russian units on the front line remain without the promised replenishment of ammunition."
