The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on November 16 that the Sever (North] Group of Forces had inflicted more losses on Kiev forces in the direction of Kursk.
Ukraine’s 21st, 22nd, 41st, 47th, 61st, 115th mechanized brigades, the 17th Tank Brigade, 80th, 82nd, 95th air assault brigades, the 36th Marine Brigade, 103rd, 112th, 129th territorial defense brigades took losses near the settlements of Aleksandriya, Daryino, Martynovka, Maryevka, Nikolayevo-Daryino, Pogrebki, and Sverdlikovo, the ministry said in a statement.
It added that Russian air and artillery strikes hit troops and equipment of KIev forces close to the settlements of Lebedevka, Novoivanovka, Sverdlikovo, and Cherkasskoye Porechnoye.
“During the day, the enemy losses were 255 troops, three armored personnel carriers, one armored fighting vehicle, seven motor vehicles, one anti-aircraft missile system, one 152 mm D-20 howitzer, and one electronic warfare station,” the ministry detailed in its statements.
Separately, the ministry and Russian media sources shared several videos showing some of the strikes that hit Kiev forces in the Kursk direction recently.
Kiev forces launched a surprise attack from Sumy into Kursk last August, relying mainly on foreign mercenaries and Western-made weapons.
Since the start of the attack, at least 56 Russian civilians have been killed and more than 266 others have been wounded. Moreover, the attack displaced more than 144,000 civilians. The fate of some 2,000 others who lived in areas attacked by Kiev forces remain unknown.
The Russian military launched a counter-attack in Kursk in September. Nearly half of the settlements initially occupied by Ukrainian troops have been already liberated.
According to the Russian MoD, since the start of the battle in Kursk Kiev forces have lost 32,930 troops, 213 tanks, 136 infantry fighting vehicles, 115 armored personnel carriers, 1,167 armored fighting vehicles, 951 motor vehicles, 284 artillery guns, 40 launchers, including 11 American-made HIMARS and six MLRS systems, 13 air defense systems, seven transport-loading vehicles, 65 electronic warfare stations, 13 counter-battery radars, four aerial radars, 27 engineering vehicles, including 13 counter obstacle vehicles, one UR-77 mine clearing vehicle, six armored recovery vehicle, and one command post vehicle.
