❗️ Situation in Kursk Region - What is Known as of 1 PM
Throughout the night and morning, Ukrainian formations attempted to expand the territory under their control in Kursk Region. According to the latest information, since the start of the offensive, AFU units have occupied several settlements in the region.
In the northwestern sector, the enemy reached the outskirts of Leonidovka along the Rylsk - Sudzha highway, where Ukrainian formations came under fire from Russian troops and suffered losses in manpower and equipment.
Simultaneously, AFU units advanced more than 3 kilometers from the line of Nikolayevo - Daryino - Nizhny Klyn, establishing control over Obukhovskaya, Pokrovskoye, Tolsty Lug and Lyubimovka.
In the southeast, the enemy captured the Sudzha gas metering station, through which gas transit to Europe through the territory of the so-called Ukraine is carried out. The facility is located in close proximity to the checkpoint of the same name.
According to incoming information, Russian forces were able to drive Ukrainian formations out of Goncharovka, the western suburb of Sudzha. However, the enemy retains control over the rest of the 38K-004 highway.
Ukrainian formations continue to strike across the entire Kursk Region - Sudzha remains under the most massive fire. According to official data, over the past two days, 5 people were killed and at least 24 were injured, including 6 children.
According to footage published by the enemy, yesterday a Ukrainian FPV drone hit a Russian Mi-28 helicopter in the tail boom, which became the first such documented incident. The aircraft received damage to the tail rotor and made a landing, the crew is alive.
The Ukrainian command continues to concentrate forces in the Yunakovka rural community in Sumy Region. Concentrations of the AFU are also recorded in Yunakovka itself, as well as in the village of Kiyanytsya located southwest of it.
Meanwhile, in another part of the Sumy Region, the concentration of enemy forces is observed in the forest areas near the village of Pryvillia east of the city of Hlukhiv. As we have noted before, from here the AFU can advance both along the highway through the Krupets checkpoint and from the direction of the Krasny Peredovik farm.
At the moment, the AFU command is forming two groupings, one of which is concentrated in the Yunakovka rural community, and the other in the Hlukhiv district. And if the first one has partially entered the territory of the Kursk Region, the other has not yet begun to move.
At the same time, Rylsk may become the general goal for the groupings - Ukrainian formations from the Sudzha district were able to advance towards it overnight, and the E38 highway leads to it from the direction of Pryvillia.
