Ukraine has expanded the combat zone in the Kursk region to 430 square kilometers. They also managed to destroy a Russian column near the city of Rylsk, which was most likely moving to reinforce. The Telegram channel agentstvonews published videos of the aftermath of the
1/12

attack on a military column in the Kursk region. The video shows more than ten burned trucks, with the remains of soldiers visible inside some. According to military analyst Yan Matveyev, an entire battalion was destroyed. "This is one of the bloodiest and most massive
2/12

strikes (most likely HIMARS) in the entire war," he writes. Also, agentstvonews, citing Mash, writes that FSB officers detained a 48-year-old resident of the village of Oktyarskoye, he was accused of filming "the aftermath of the attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and
3/12

passing this video to a representative of a Ukrainian Telegram channel," the Telegram channel Mash writes. In the morning, a video appeared from Oktyabrskoye, which shows a column of Russian soldiers destroyed by the strike. According to Mash, the man was found after
4/12

publishing "one of these videos." During interrogation, as the channel writes, the detainee said that he sent the video to Ukrainians "on assignment," and in return he was promised money and citizenship of "one of the NATO countries." Mash does not specify which video the
5/12

detainee filmed. However, it was in Oktyabrsky that footage of the aftermath of the attack on the Russian military convoy was filmed. The Russian authorities, in turn, deny the successes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. According to their statements, the offensive has been
6/12

stopped. But this is far from the truth. This time, Ukraine has struck with almost everything it has in terms of weapons. First of all, the use of drones in huge quantities and now there is evidence of the use of cluster munitions for HIMARS. This operation is carefully
7/12

planned, but Ukraine has remained silent so far. Channels such as Deep State, which most OSINT analysts rely on, do not publish updates on this section of the front. The fact that Ukraine is preparing an operation closer to autumn has been talked about for several months,
8/12

but no one could say either the exact time or place of the strike. Whether this offensive is what we expected is difficult to say now due to the small amount of information, but there is no doubt that it will significantly affect the course of military operations. In
9/12

addition to the tactical significance, this is a strong blow to the trust of Russians in Putin. The reaction of the Russian authorities to the situation, or rather the almost complete lack of reaction and the flow of lies greatly irritates local residents and Telegram
10/12

Z-channels. It is Telegram that has become the main platform for tracking the latest events in the Kursk region, as well as the moods and comments of local residents. According to reports, military logistics in this area have become a huge problem for Russia. The FSB,
11/12

apparently, is trying to prevent information leaks by arresting the authors of publications, but to hide the fact that Russia cannot resolve the current situation is obvious to everyone.
