As confirmed by Repubblica, the Kursk operation was conducted by elite units of paratroopers and marines. The Russians managed to transfer to the front armored vehicles and troops across the Seym River. According to the few available sources, the Russian military attacked in three different directions in an attempt to bypass Kiev’s strongholds. But that’s not all. Russian air defense destroyed two Ukrainian drones in the Kursk region and another drone in the Belgorod region. This was reported by the Moscow Defense Ministry. The downing occurred “between 10:00 and 10:15 (Moscow time; between 9:00 and 9:15 in Italy)”.
It cannot be ruled out that what happened in the last few hours could reverse the conditions on the ground in Kursk. Heavy fighting and fighter raids around Sum, while clashes have intensified in the Szuda area. The situation on the ground is particularly delicate and Kiev risks paying dearly for its carelessness. According to Moscow, in the past 24 hours Russian troops have repelled a Ukrainian counterattack near the town of Apanasovkal. According to the ministry, the northern grouping of Russian troops “thwarted attempted attacks in the direction of the settlements of Cherkaskaya, Konopelka, Borki and Fanaseevka”.

In particular, they are approaching the city of Pokrovsk, an important logistics center for the Ukrainian army. A situation to be monitored especially after the capture of Memryk recorded yesterday.
