The Russian military repelled several attacks and inflicted more losses on Kiev forces in the Kursk direction over the past 24 hours, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on August 30.
In a briefing, the ministry said that the military’s Sever Group of Forces thwarted five Ukrainian attacks near the settlements of Kremyanoye, Pushkarskoye and Cherkasskoye Porechnoye. It added that other advance attempts towards the settlements of Malaya Loknya, Pushkarnoye and Russkaya Konopelka were also foiled.
Some 40 Ukrainian troops were killed or wounded during these failed attacks. Three armored fighting vehicles and two motor vehicles were also destroyed.
The ministry also said that a series of Russian air and artillery strikes hit the troops and equipment of Ukraine’s 22nd, 41st, 61st, 115th mechanized brigades, 82nd Air Assault Brigade and the 1004th Security and Service Brigade near the settlements of Apanasovka, Borki, Bogdanovka, Vishnyovka, Gaponovo, Kositsa, Lyubimovka, Mikhailovka, Novaya Sorochina, Obukhovka, Orlovka, Plekhovo, Russkoye Porechnoye, Sverdlikovo, Snagost, and Desyaty Oktyabr.
Other strikes hit the Ukrainian region of Sumy, which neighbors Kursk, targeting the 41st, 54th mechanized brigades, 80th, 82nd, 95th air assault brigades, the 1st National Guard Brigade, 101th, 103rd, 107th, and the 129th territorial defense brigades close to the settlements of Belopolye, Bachevsk, Glukhov, Katerinovka, Martynovka, Pervomayskoye, Pustogorod, Pokrovka, Pavlovka, Sumy, and Fotovizh, according to the ministry.
“Over the past 24 hours, the AFU [Armed Forces of Ukraine] losses have amounted to more than 380 troops and 22 units of hardware, including one tank, 21 armored fighting vehicles, one artillery gun, two mortars, one electronic warfare station and eight motor vehicles,” the ministry said.
“Since the beginning of hostilities in Kursk region, the AFU losses have amounted to more than 7,800 troops, 75 tanks, 36 infantry fighting vehicles, 64 armored personnel carriers, 507 armored fighting vehicles, 235 motor vehicles, 53 artillery guns, 15 multiple launch rocket system (MLRS), including four of HIMARS system and one of MLRS system, five SAM [surface-to-air missile] launchers, 11 electronic warfare stations, one counter-battery radar, one air defense radar, five engineering vehicles, including two counter obstacle vehicles and one UR-77 mine clearing vehicle,” it concluded.
Videos released by the ministry and Russian media showed some of the recent losses Kiev forces sustained in Kursk and Sumy.
Relying mainly on foreign mercenaries and Western-made weapons, Kiev forces launched their surprise attack in Kursk on August 6.
The attack came to a halt within a few days due to the fierce resistance of the Russian military. However, a counter-attack is yet to be launched.
Since the start of the attack, at least 31 Russian civilians have been killed and more than 140 others have been wounded. Moreover, the attack displaced more than 140,000 civilians. The fate of some 2,000 others who lived in areas attacked by Kiev forces remain unknown.
