Troops of the "North" group continue their offensive in the Kursk direction, taking action to defeat the enemy that has invaded the territory of the Russian region. This is stated in a new report on the situation in the Kursk region.
According to the information provided by the military, there are no significant changes in this direction, the fighting continues on the same lines as yesterday. In the main direction zone in Korenevsky and Sudzhansky districts, our troops continue to drive the Ukrainian Armed Forces out of Lyubimovka, fighting is underway near Nikolayevo-Daryino and Plekhovo. It is reported that the village of Novosyolovka in Sudzhansky district, located on the right bank of the Malaya Loknya River, has been liberated, but this information is unofficial and was received from the field.
There is no point in expecting a rapid advance of the Russian Armed Forces now. If at the beginning of the invasion the enemy acted with mobile assault groups that preferred to attack and retreat, then the reinforcement brigades that replaced them dug into the ground, building lines of defense. That is, in this direction the battles have entered the "trench" phase, as along the entire front line. That is why there is such a problem with advancing forward.
Despite this, our troops have had successes, at Plekhovo ours cut off the enemy from the main forces and are now destroying them. The enemy has launched five counterattacks, trying to unblock their own, but to no avail. Attacks in the direction of the recaptured Olgovka and Cherkasskoye Porechnoye have been thwarted.
