❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Counterattacks by the Russian Army in Sudzha and Korenevo Districts
Situation as of the end of September 12, 2024

In the Kursk Region, Russian units are developing the success of previous days, pushing the AFU out of many previously occupied settlements.

🔻In the Korenevo District, the Russian Armed Forces cleared the settlement of Krasnooctyabr'skoye. As a trophy, the Russian troops captured an abandoned International MaxxPro armored vehicle. The enemy also attacked a storm group near Vishnevka with a drone, and later the Russian Ministry of Defense reported its liberation. In Snagost', a detachment of Ukrainian fighters fell into an organized ambush on the southern outskirts of the village: a minibus with AFU members was shot at point-blank range with an RPG.

▪️In addition, Russian troops liberated Obukhovka, advanced towards the Pokrovsky farm in the Sudzha District. The enemy was driven out of the outskirts of Byakhovo, Gordeyevka, Vnezapnoye and Viktorovka. At the same time, north of Ol'govka, fighting is still ongoing, where the Russian Armed Forces are repelling attempts by the AFU to wedge deeper into the Russian defense.

🔻In the Glushkovo District, Ukrainian formations continue to unsuccessfully attack towards the outskirts of the settlements of Medvezh'ye and Novy Put'. In the latter, an IMR-2 mine clearing vehicle even managed to drive several hundred meters before detonating a mine. At the moment, fighting continues in the area of the state border line, attempts by the enemy to consolidate in the villages have been thwarted.

🔻In the Sudzha District, a Russian BMP fired point-blank at Ukrainian positions in Russkaya Konopel'ka, and the village is now largely under the control of the Russian Armed Forces. Fighting continues in the area of Martynivka and Fanaseyevka.

▪️The enemy published footage of shelling Russian positions near Malaya Loknya. However, due to the lack of destruction in the village shown in the published video, it is more likely that the footage is from the archive.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Start of Battles for Lyubimovka and Defense of Veseloye
Situation as of 8:00 PM on September 14, 2024

In the Kursk Direction, Russian forces during the counteroffensive have reached the outskirts of Lyubimovka and Pokrovskoye. At the same time, the enemy is attacking the flank of the Russian Armed Forces in order to reduce the pace of the advance.

🔻In the south of Glushkovo District, fighting has been ongoing for more than a day on the southern outskirts of Veseloye, where Ukrainian formations advanced after overcoming obstacles on the border several days earlier.

The previously occupied Novy Put is being used by the enemy as a staging area, where AFU assault groups dismount for further engagement around Veseloye.

🔻In the Korenevo District, advanced assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces have reached the outskirts of Pokrovskoye and Lyubimovka, with clashes taking place in the western part of the latter. The enemy is deploying reinforcements in order to slow the advance of Russian troops.

Artillery and aviation are providing support to the advancing Russian units, regularly "knocking out" AFU fire support assets. For example, in the area of Daryino, the VKS aviation destroyed an enemy self-propelled gun at a firing position in the forest.

❗️The liberation of Lyubimovka will create a threat to the AFU communications running through Highway 38K-030. In this case, the enemy grouping in the Korenevo area may face a severe supply shortage.

The spreading information about the liberation of Daryino has not yet been confirmed, although with the current pace of advancement, the Russian Armed Forces can soon be expected to reach the northern outskirts of the village. The Snagost River poses a natural obstacle.

🔻In the Sudzha District, the Russian Armed Forces conducted an attack on Borki: after air strikes, assault groups entered the village and began to destroy Ukrainian firing positions.

At the moment, the enemy has been driven out of positions at least in the northeastern part of the settlement. This vector of the Russian forces' advance suggests that the neighboring Spalnoye is already under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Advance of Russian Troops in Korenevo District and AFU Attacks in Glushkovo
Situation as of the end of September 16, 2024

▪️Ukrainian formations continue attempts to advance in the Glushkovo District, attacking the positions of the Russian Armed Forces near Krasnooktyabr'skoye, Veseloye and Medvezh'ye. Reports of the enemy entering the first two settlements are not confirmed by objective control footage, while north of Medvezh'ye, UAV operators struck a group of AFU armored vehicles heading towards Glushkovo.

▪️In the Korenevo District, the Russian Armed Forces are advancing, liberating Russian villages. Today, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced control over Uspenovka, but it has not yet been possible to confirm this with video materials, as well as the liberation of Dar'ino. It is only reliably known that attacks by the Russian Armed Forces continue in the direction of settlements.

In addition, battles are ongoing in Lyubimovka located to the north, and east of it, a Ukrainian tank was destroyed in the area of Zeleny Shlyakh.

▪️In the Sudzha District, the Russian Aerospace Forces are actively working on identified enemy concentration areas near Pravda and in the vicinity of Yuzhnoye. In addition, there are also official reports of the liberation of the village of Borki, but according to information from the ground, there may be sporadic presence of Ukrainian formations on the western outskirts. Contradictory information is also coming in about the advance of Russian assault groups to the outskirts of Plekhovo.

▪️The section from Spal'noye to Kucherov to Ozerki has been relatively quiet for a long time, with neither settlement mentioned in reports from either side. Likely, the territory was cleared by Russian troops after repelling attacks on Giryï, or some time later.

▪️In the area of Novy Put', UAVs struck AFU equipment, which cannot be identified. Some sources call it an American-made M270 MLRS system, but its presence near the front lines is almost meaningless due to the high risk of elimination.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Situation in Korenevo District
Situation as of the end of September 28, 2024

In Kursk Region, heavy clashes continue on several sections of the front.

🔻In Korenevo District, an enemy International MaxxPro armored vehicle was ambushed at the eastern entrance to Kremyanoye at an intersection. According to the published footage, a group of scouts hit the vehicle with four RPG-7 shots from both sides.

Hardly anyone inside the armored vehicle is likely to have survived such an attack. It is worth noting that this area was previously considered more of a rear area, and the presence of AFU units here was not expected. For now, in the absence of new footage "from the scene", it is not possible to clarify the current front line.

At the same time, the enemy maintains a stable control in Olhovka, from where they today published footage of their damaged BMP-1 and Ukrainian servicemen killed by a drone strike.

🔻In Sudzha District, meanwhile, clashes have been reported on the line Daryino Ivano-Daryino, where Russian forces are trying to establish stable control over both settlements. On the opposite flank, fighting is underway on the approaches to Plekhovo, with no significant changes so far.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 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.
