Agents of the ATESH partisan movement carried out a series of sabotage operations against communications and energy facilities in the Novorossiysk area (in the aggressor country, the russian federation) on the eve of the Ukrainian Defense Forces' strike on the "Grusheva Balka" oil depot on the night of May 23. This is stated in a report by ATESH.
The partisans said that "Grusheva Balka" is the largest oil storage facility in the Caucasus. The facility has a capacity of 1.2 million tons of petroleum products. It is used for the storage, distribution, and transshipment of fuel for military equipment, the navy, and the logistics of the aggressor country’s army in the south.

"Our forces disabled several communication towers that facilitated coordination among air defense units in the area and damaged a transformer substation that powered some military and communications facilities. Without power, large stationary radars ceased to operate reliably. Reconnaissance using UAVs on the outskirts of Novorossiysk was effectively blind—air defense units lost the ability to respond in a timely manner to low-flying targets," ATESH revealed.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, ATESH partisans disabled a russian diesel locomotive in St. Petersburg and disrupted oil logistics in the northwestern region of the aggressor state of russia.
