The Shepetivka Operation was a military operation of a "sabotage and demonstration nature" by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (Polissya Sich) at the Shepetivka railway station. It was carried out as part of the so-called second phase of the UPA's struggle against the Nazis, which was aimed at military transport moving to the front and repelling trains with looted Ukrainian property and people.
"The Shepetivka operation was carried out on the night of 19 August 1942 by a combined group of UPA brigades at the Shepetivka railway junction. As a result, the insurgents seized four trains of various property. In addition, two echelons of people who were being transported to Germany for forced labour were released[1][2]. On the same day, UPA units left the city. There is no detailed information on the course of the action. Information about it comes primarily from the book of the UPA commander Taras Bulba-Borovets, in which he somewhat pathetically describes the Shepetivka operation, based on the stories of two commanders who directly commanded the operation[3][4].
