Ukrainian strike targets Russian command in Kursk region
The Ukrainian armed forces carried out an attack on a Russian command post in the Kursk region, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported. This operation was part of efforts to disrupt the opponent's logistics.
According to the General Staff's announcement on their Telegram channel, Ukrainian missile and artillery units struck the command post of the Russian Armed Forces' Kursk grouping in the town of Rylsk, located in the Kursk region. The statement emphasized that this action is part of ongoing efforts to dismantle enemy command centers, aiming to disrupt their ability to coordinate military operations and manage logistics effectively.
The General Staff announced that the Ukrainian army will continue to inflict losses on the Russian forces by destroying their command systems and weakening their offensive potential. These operations, as declared, will continue until the end of Russian aggression against Ukraine.
Ukrainian troops entered the Kursk region on August 6, 2024. The aim of the offensive was to force the Russians to transfer part of their forces from Donbas. By the end of August, Kyiv controlled approximately 1,250 square kilometres of this region.
However, since September, Ukrainian forces began losing ground due to a Russian army counteroffensive. Nevertheless, the Ukrainian army continues its efforts to inflict losses on the Russian forces and weaken their command system.
