A compilation. On August 6, 2024, Ukrainian forces launched a surprise offensive in Russia's Kursk region, involving border breaches, destruction of enemy defenses, and the capture of Russian soldiers.

More footage from the early days of the Kursk operation by the 80th air assault brigade.

“In the first hours of a military operation in Russia's Kursk region, Ukrainian forces captured over fifty Russian soldiers, destroyed a border checkpoint, and broke through enemy defense line.”

The United States has not yet approved Ukraine's request to strike Russia's Kursk region with ATACMS missiles, according to CNN. Washington notes that these missiles are in limited supply and suggests they would be better used for targets in Crimea. cnn.com/2024/08/15/pol…

A series of airstrikes using JDAM precision bombs targeted the command post and the area where a battalion of Russian paratroopers from the 98th Airborne Division was stationed in Tetkino, Kursk Oblast.

Approximate situation near Borki, with an extended zone of control towards/inside Spal’noe. Fighting reported in Krupets east of Borki. North of Borki, the AFU is trying to encircle Ulenok. There is already info that AFU has presence in Ulenok, but needs more confirmation.

Residents of Sudzha are debunking Russian propaganda about "brutal treatment" by Ukrainians. A couple living in their home, not in basements, stated, "No one bothers us; they told us to live peacefully, everything is fine."

In the Kursk region, locals started looting their neighbors and got caught by Ukrainian military men.

“What else we have to do? Well, you are caught ladies.”

According to Romanov, the AFU again struck the bridge over the Seym river near Glushkovo in the Kursk region. Yesterday, similar attacks were reported.

“The bridge is still standing”.

The question is for how long.

A video titled "A Trip Along the Border of Kursk Region" was released by the North Side Group.

According to Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Ukrainian Presidential Office, Ukraine's attacks in the Kursk region are intended to pressure Russia into negotiating on terms favorable to Ukraine.

The 14th mechanized brigade destroys Russian supply equipment and reserve personnel in the Kursk region.

According to the latest information, the AFU has taken control over Dmitryukov and Kolmakov, east of Sudzha.

Reported as Vzenapnoe, Kursk region. Peoples Republic of Kursk flag. The village was taken two days ago.

The AFU has reportedly destroyed the bridge north of Glushkovo over the Seym river, and also targeted a bridge near Zvane, Kursk region.

In Sudzha a Lenin statue was removed.

The bridge over the Seym River near the village of Glushkovo in the Kursk region has been destroyed after being hit by MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System) ammunition. As a result, approximately a battalion of Russian Armed Forces soldiers might be encircled in the area.

The UR-77 mine-clearing vehicle from the 225th Battalion moved close to the Kursk border, used an explosive charge to breach a minefield, and after that Ukrainian troops moved in. Footage likely from the initial stages of the attack

Ukrainian tank unit "Tur" from the 225th Separate Assault Battalion was involved in the operation to liberate the village of Novoivanivka in the Kursk region.

Russians have already deployed a pontoon bridge east of the destroyed bridge near Glushkovo. But this is within artillery reach the AFU.

@moklasen “The border of the Motherland is sacred and inviolable”

@moklasen CNN visited the border region with Russia which was breached. Ukrainian armoured vehicles and supply trucks can be seen flowing into Russia.

@moklasen The moment of the Ukrainian airstrike on the bridge north of Glushkovo, which collapsed afterwards.

@moklasen DeepState showed another group of prisoners taken by the 22nd Brigade. The Russian servicemen chose life and will now wait for an exchange.

@moklasen Situation in Sudzha

"Don't Ukrainians insult you?"
"No, no."
"Do you have enough to eat and drink?"
"Yes, we robbed stores."

@moklasen According to Russian sources, the AFU took control over Ulenok and Nizhnemakhovo. The latter is new, Ulenok was already somehow confirmed. We will adjust the map accordingly later tonight. Due to OPSEC some new (other) changes will become public in the next few days.

@moklasen In my opinion there are some very overoptimistic maps floating around in regards to Kursk. Gains are significant, but not as large as some try to make it look like.

Anyway, SitRep and map update in an hour.

@moklasen Russian source Romanov confirms that after Ukraine took down the Glushkovo bridge, units started moving further along the railway line near Krasnooktyabr'skoe. Likely towards Komarovka and Vishnevka.

@moklasen Closed for today. Tomorrow a new one
