🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Repelling AFU Attacks and Strikes by the Russian Armed Forces on the Enemy's Rear Communications
Situation as of the end of October 8, 2024

In the Kursk Direction, Ukrainian formations are making unsuccessful attempts to break through the defense of the Russian troops on several sections of the front.

🔻In the south of the Glushkovo District, the AFU are trying to cut the 38N-052 highway east of Vesele. The Russian troops are repelling the enemy's attacks with the support of the Russian Aerospace Forces.

▪️Drone operators struck the "Plastun" radar station of the Ukrainian formations in Vorozhba. The station was likely operating in the interests of the enemy grouping in the Tetkinо area.

🔻In the Korenevo District, the AFU launched attacks towards Olhovka and in the area of Lyubimovka. The Russian Armed Forces units repelled the enemy's attacks and also destroyed an ammunition depot of the Ukrainian formations south of Tolstoy Lug.

🔻In the Sudzha District, the AFU launched an attack with an armored group towards Martynivka. The Russian aviation struck the enemy's units during their advancement from the initial positions, forcing them to retreat. Attacks by Ukrainian formations in the areas of Olhovka, Russkoye and Cherkasskoye Porechnoye were also repelled.

▪️The Russian Aerospace Forces struck the positions of the enemy in the areas of Martynivka and Kolmakovo. Drone operators also distinguished themselves, destroying several pieces of Ukrainian equipment in Sudzha, as well as shooting down a "Baba Yaga" UAV in the vicinity of the settlement.

🔻The Russian troops regularly strike the enemy's rear in order to complicate the supply of the AFU grouping in the Kursk Region. Thus, over the past day, Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft struck the concentrations of AFU personnel in Barilovo, Ugroedy and Iskriskovshchina.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Attack by Ukrainian UAVs on Russian regions

Last night, Ukrainian forces once again launched UAVs against Russian regions. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, about 47 UAVs of the AFU were intercepted.

▪️This time, the most massive attack was on the Bryansk Region, where the enemy launched at least 24 drones. However, it was not without consequences - near Karachayevo, the impact hit the territory of the 67th arsenal of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate.

Footage of explosions and fires at the facility was published online. Local authorities declared a municipal emergency due to the detonation of explosive objects.

▪️The southern regions of Russia were also attacked. In the Rostov Region, Russian air defenses intercepted targets near Novoshakhtinsk and in the southwest of the region. As a result of debris falling in the Kagalnitsky District, a fire broke out in a wasteland.

In the neighboring Krasnodar Territory, a Ukrainian drone was shot down over the village of Shabelskoe on the coast of the Sea of Azov. In the settlement, a residential house and a gas pipe were damaged.

▪️Air defense systems also worked in the Kursk and Belgorod Regions - a total of seven drones were intercepted over these regions. According to preliminary information, there were no consequences.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Continued Offensive by the Russian Armed Forces and Strikes on AFU Industrial Facilities in Sumy
Situation as of the end of October 12, 2024

In the Kursk Direction, Russian forces are pushing through the enemy's defenses in the area of Lyubimovka and Plekhovo. At the same time, active work continues to destroy the enemy's industrial facilities in the rear.

🔻In Glushkovo District, the Russian Armed Forces are fighting on the northern outskirts of Novy Put. Ukrainian formations are holding positions south of the railway track and are accumulating forces for a counterattack in the area.

The artillery and air force of the Russian Armed Forces regularly strike the rear communications of the AFU, reducing their combat potential and hampering the supply of forward units. Over the past day, the positions of Ukrainian formations in Pavlovka, Katerynivka and Iskryskovshchyna were hit.

🔻In Korenevo District, the battle for Lyubimovka continues, where enemy units have been partially encircled. Likely, the Ukrainian formations will soon be forced to either leave the village or carry out counterattacks to improve their position.

❗️Earlier, there was information about the advance of Russian troops towards Sverdlikovo. As of today, it has not been possible to confirm this either by objective control footage or data from our sources on the ground. It is difficult to determine the current configuration of the front in this area due to the high rate of change in the combat situation.

🔻In the north of Sudzha District, the Russian Armed Forces delivered a series of artillery strikes on enemy positions in Russkoye Porechnoye. To the south, assault groups of Russian troops are advancing along the railway towards Kolmakovo and Agronom from the direction of Russkaya Konopelka.

▪️On the southern outskirts of Makhnovka, Russian UAV operators destroyed an enemy tank using a drone with a fiber-optic cable. This type of drone is gradually gaining more popularity in the troops against the background of its successful debut in the Kursk region.

▪️In the area of Plekhovo, the situation is shrouded in the "fog of war". Judging by the reports from the Russian Ministry of Defense about strikes on the territory of the village, Ukrainian formations are still present in the settlement.

At the same time, Russian troops are expanding the zones of penetration into the AFU defense, seeking to reach the Psel River and completely cut off the enemy from supply.

🔻In Sumy Region, Russian troops used Geran-2 UAVs to strike a series of industrial enterprises in the regional center.

The facilities were used for the repair and maintenance of heavy equipment, including Western models, in the interests of the enemy grouping in the Kursk Region.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Fighting near Lyubimovka
Situation as of the end of October 17, 2024

Russian army units continue to liberate the territory of Kursk Region, destroying the enemy's manpower.

▪️In Glushkovo District, there are clashes near the captured enemy village of Novy Put, and to the south, Ukrainian formations are preparing the next line of defense along the railway. At the same time, the territory of the district is almost completely liberated.

▪️In Korenevo District, Ukrainian formations tried to attack in Zeleny Shlyakh and the villages to the south, but withdrew with losses. Against the background of reports of the alleged capture of a huge amount of enemy manpower in the area of Lyubimovka, footage of retreating AFU members has spread on the Internet: apparently, they were shot near Tolstoy Lug, where a "semi-cauldron" with a narrow "neck" formed.

Approximately in this area, there was an episode of an unsuccessful attack by the Russian Armed Forces and the loss of several units of tracked and wheeled armored vehicles. According to preliminary data, the reason was a topographic error of the advancing forces.

▪️In Sudzha District, another unsuccessful attack by the AFU was recorded in the vicinity of Russkaya Konopelka. Judging by the latest footage of objective control, the Ukrainian formations in Plekhovo are also under the threat of encirclement, and the village may be liberated in the near future.

🇲🇱Situation in Mali: Terrorist Attack in Bamako and Wagner PMC Raid
Summary for September 15 - October 18, 2024

The past month has seen an overall increase in military activity in various parts of Mali. The main event was undoubtedly the raid by the Wagner PMC with the goal of repatriating the remains of its fighters.

▪️ Recall that thanks to the lessons learned from the previous bitter experience, this time there were almost no losses. All ambushes were avoided, and the enemy was made to believe in different goals of the operation.

▪️ Another important event was the attack by radical Islamists on the airport of the capital Bamako and the nearby gendarmerie barracks. A small group of militants was able to temporarily seize the airport and damage civilian aircraft. They did not reach the military part of the facility.

▪️ There is also another activation of government forces along the Mauritanian border. During the recent events, more than 50 Islamists hiding along the border strip were detained and eliminated.

Unfortunately, during one of the clashes, the commander of the 9th assault detachment of the Wagner PMC with the call sign "Michael" was killed.

▪️ Meanwhile, in the north, militants linked to Al-Qaeda's JNIM group attempted a massive attack in the north of the country. The cities of Timbuktu, Bér and Gao came under attack.

The attempt to shell the airports was unsuccessful. As well as the use of suicide car bombs, they failed to break through the defense.

All attacks were repelled, and the government forces' retaliatory actions were more successful. Near Timbuktu, a group of 20 militants was discovered and neutralized.

▪️ Also, a large number of small groups and individual militant supply vehicles were destroyed with the help of aviation and UAVs.

🔻As can be seen, anti-government groups are increasingly suffering defeats in major operations, resorting to isolated sorties and mining roads. All this is a positive trend in ensuring peace in the country.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 On the results of the Israeli strike on Iran

A day after Israel's "limited strike" on Iran, satellite imagery of the attack's aftermath has appeared online.

▪️According to Israeli media, one of the key targets was a solid-fuel rocket engine production facility in Parchin and Khojir near Tehran, specifically - 12 planetary mixers.

▪️Planetary mixers are used for the production of solid propellant for long-range ballistic missiles. Their destruction can inflict some damage on the Islamic Republic's ability to replenish its missile arsenal.

▪️As seen in the images, four silos were hit. Pro-Iranian OSINT analysts believe the Israelis used light warheads weighing around 100-200 kilograms to strike the target. This amount is sufficient to destroy a silo.

Interestingly, while the "Axis of Resistance" segment actively discusses and analyzes this issue, Israeli resources are limited to simple statements about "achieving all the goals of the strike" without providing substantial evidence.

🔻Clearly, the Israeli strike was primarily of a political nature. It would be an overstatement to say that Iran has lost its air defense or missile production capabilities altogether.

It should be remembered that the Iranians have long had an underground production system. These facilities are not only well-fortified, but are also typically located deep in the desert. Underneath the surface, there are even airfields.

During the attack, a considerable amount of footage was circulated online that was unrelated to this region or the specific date. Even government officials indulged in this during the Israeli Defense Ministry meeting at the Kirya complex.

And what is even more remarkable, the recent exchange of strikes between Israel and Iran is more akin to a "slapping championship", with the participants trying to pass off what is happening as a full-fledged fight.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Stabilization of the Situation in All Sectors
Situation as of the end of October 31, 2024

In the Kursk Direction, there are no significant changes in the combat situation. A relative lull is observed along the entire front line. In the Glushkovo, Korenevo and Sudzha districts, routine measures are being taken to repel the enemy's attacks on the positions of the Russian Armed Forces, followed by retaliatory strikes by Russian troops. The information circulating on the Internet about the alleged use of F-16s by Ukrainian formations in the border area is not confirmed.

🔻The volume of publications from both our side and the enemy side has decreased significantly. This is likely due to the deterioration of the weather, which in turn makes it difficult to conduct assault operations outside of paved roads. Operational-tactical aviation is working in standby mode on the identified positions of the AFU both in the occupied part of the Kursk Region and in the border area. FAB-3000 bombs with UMRK are now being used for strikes.

▪️In the Sumy Region, the systematic engagement of the enemy's air defense and energy infrastructure continues, both by operational-tactical aviation and "Geraniums".

🇷🇺🇺🇦 On the Detonation of the Kurakhovske Reservoir Dam

The internet is abuzz with discussions about the Ukrainian forces detonating the dam of the Kurakhovske Reservoir with a volume of 62 million cubic meters. According to reports, the AFU damaged the sluices in the area of Stari Ternî: this led to the flooding of the Volchia River, which flows in a westerly direction.

At the moment, the Ukrainian authorities are reporting a "slight rise in the water level in the river". The villages of Stari Ternî and Shevchenko, located close to the shore, are in the risk zone. The internet has already shown footage from the opposing side demonstrating the difficulties with vehicle traffic.

The probable flood zone will stretch for dozens of kilometers west of Kurakhovо up to the village of Bogatyr. All the settlements are located in a lowland, so the water is unlikely to go beyond the residential areas.

🔻 Although the opponent was clearly guided by the intention to slow down the advancing Russian Armed Forces, the effectiveness of such measures is questionable. Given the current configuration of the front line, by the time the main Russian forces approach Stari Ternî, the water level will most likely start to recede.

Of course, the Ukrainian resources, in their characteristic manner, blamed the "Russian shelling" for the incident, but artillery shell hits can hardly cause any serious damage to the dam. In contrast to the charges pre-planted in the right places.

📌 By the way, this is far from the first such action by the AFU: in addition to the Kakhovka HPP dam, the opponent has previously destroyed dams near Kozarovychi, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and other locations during retreats. Moreover, in some cases, this "scorched earth" tactic even led to the flooding of Ukrainian units.
