Kiev forces have taken additional losses while attempting to hold onto their remaining positions in the Russian region of Kursk.
In its November 30 briefing, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that Ukraine’s 21st, 41st, 44th, 47th mechanised brigades, the 17th Heavy Mechanised Brigade, the 5th Tank Brigade, 80th, 82nd, 95th air assault brigades, the 36th Marine Brigade, 112th, 116th, 117th, and 129th territorial defence brigades took heavy losses after clashes with the Russian military’s Sever (North) Group of Forces.
The clashes took place near the settlements of Aleksandriya, Viktorovka, Kurilovka, Lebedevka, Leonidovka, Martynovka, Nizhny Klin, Nikolayevo-Daryino, Nikolsky, Novoivanovka, Plyokhovo, and Sverdlikovo.
The ministry also announced that Russian air and artillery strikes hit Ukrainian troops and equipment near the settlements of Aleksandriya, Guyevo, Daryino, Kazachya Loknya, Kruglenkoye, Kubatkin, Lebedevka, Martynovka, Nizhny Klin, Nikolayevo-Daryino, Novoivanovka, Plyokhovo, Sverdlikovo, Basovka, Belovody, Vodolagi, Zhuravka, and Loknya in the Ukrainian region of Sumy.
