Ukraine Advances in Kursk While Russian Strikes Decline but Persist

Ukrainian forces push deeper into Russian territory as Moscow shifts focus to Donetsk, where destructive glide-bomb attacks continue despite a significant decrease.

  • Ukrainian troops expanded their offensive in Russia's Kursk region, capturing multiple settlements and employing combined arms tactics and electronic warfare effectively.
  • Kyiv's cross-border operations in Kursk aim to divert Russian forces from critical fronts like Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia, with reports of significant Russian troop and equipment losses in the area.
  • Russian glide-bomb attacks on Ukraine have decreased by 70% since summer, attributed to Ukraine's strikes on Russian airfields, ammunition depots, and the deployment of F-16 fighter jets.
  • Despite the reduction in glide-bomb strikes, these weapons remain a severe threat, with recent attacks in Zaporizhzhia killing over a dozen civilians and injuring more than 30.
  • Heavy fighting continues in Donetsk, with Russian forces intensifying assaults on Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, raising concerns about potential territorial losses for Ukraine in the region.
