russia launched a counterattack in kursk, regained control of at least three settlements, and pushed more settlements into contention, expanding the area of ​​control. the area of ​​occupied territory liberated by the russian army has expanded to about 1/3.

further west of the main invasion, ukrainian troops crossed near vesloye, expanding their operations in the area.

to the snahist river

russian troops pushed ukrainian troops behind the snashyst river and liberated uspenovka.

in the grushkovsky district of the kursk region, ukrainian troops attempted to attack the russian flank and disrupt the russian advance towards lyubimovka.

the ukrainian army entrenched itself in the forested areas near the border and periodically tried to jump into the southern suburbs of vesyoloye, but most of them were wiped out there. after that, everything repeated itself, without any territorial or tactical gains.

the ukrainian army used attack drones to accompany armored groups in an attempt to interfere with the russian army's observation. this is an innovative tactic, but the ukrainian assault columns will eventually enter those forest areas, and the ukrainian army must hide after advancing rapidly along the roads.

despite the ukrainian army's great efforts, it was still unable to hide from the russian army's observation and could not stay on the road for too long because it would inevitably be hit by anti-tank missiles or fpv drones from the side.

increase evacuation

alexey smirnov, acting governor of russia's kursk oblast, announced that civilians in the 15-kilometer zone (yellow zone) of the khomutovka and ryersk districts (green zone) in the western part of the kursk oblast must be evacuated.

the newly established evacuation zone covers 1,100 square kilometers (425 square miles).

there are only two reasons why russia made this decision:

1. hide your troops and prepare to attack.

2. we discovered that the ukrainian troops on the opposite side might launch an attack here!

other battles

to hongjun villagewater and gas supplies to the cities of mirnorad and pokrovsk have been cut off. electricity is also only partially available. bridges leading to the two cities are being systematically destroyed by russian missiles. for those who still live there, the situation is critical.

in toretsk, russian troops have captured the industrial zone and the southernmost subdivision, including a small garbage dump.

chasov yar，the russian army crossed the sdd canal and advanced west of ivanovskoye on the south side of chasov yar, entering the forest area near the clay quarries, advancing to a depth of 2 kilometers.

the famous canal was a natural barrier and obstacle to the russian army's advance towards the city, but it was breached by russian troops from the north and south, forming a pincer attack on the city.

the russian army mainly controls the forest area, which can be up to 800 meters deep and 1 kilometer wide at most.

the russian forces are protected by drones in the woods. the next goal may be to widen the bridgehead and begin to encircle the heavily fortified ukrainian defenses north of the bridgehead.
