The Russian military’s Sever Group of Forces repelled four Ukrainian attacks that targeted the settlements of Korenevo and Cherkasskoye Porechnoye in the direction of Kursk, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on August 29.

In a briefing, the ministry also said that the group prevented Kiev forces towards the settlements of Borki, Kremyanoye, Spalnoye, Martynovka and Cherkasskaya Konopelka.

Some 70 Ukrainian troops were killed or wounded and five others surrounded during these failed attacks. In addition, four armored fighting vehicles were destroyed.

Separately, a series of Russian air and artillery strikes hit Ukraine’s 22nd, 61st, and 115th mechanized, 17th tank, 80th, and 82nd air assault brigades as well as the 1st National Guard Brigade and the 1004th Security and Service Brigade close to the settlements of Apanasovka, Borki, Byakhovo, Vishnyovka, Zaoleshinka, Kubatkin, Kolmakov, Krasnooktyabrsky, Lyubimovka, Mikhailovka, Novaya Sorochina, Obukhovka, Plekhovo, Rubanshchina, Russkoye Porechnoye, Snagost and Cherkasskaya Konopelka, according to the ministry.

Other strikes targeted reserves of 22nd, 61st, 41st mechanized, and 82nd air assault brigades, the 1st Brigade of National Guard as well as the 101st, 103rd, and 129th territorial defense brigades near the settlements of Belopolye, Basovka, Vodolagi, Glukhov, Iskriskovshchina, Mikhailovskoye, Pervomayskoye, Pustogorod, Sumy, Shalygino and Esman in the Ukrainian region of Sumy, which borders Kursk.

“The AFU [Armed Forces of Ukraine] losses were more than 400 Ukrainian troops and 29 armored vehicles, including one infantry fighting vehicle, one armored personnel carrier, 27 armored fighting vehicles as well as one artillery gun, one MLRS [multiple launch rocket system], one mortar and 17 motor vehicles,” the ministry said.

“Since the beginning of hostilities in Kursk region, the AFU have lost up to 7,450 troops, 74 tanks, 36 infantry fighting vehicles, 64 armored personnel carriers, 486 armored fighting vehicles, 227 motor vehicles, 52 artillery guns, 15 multiple-launch rocket system launchers, including four of HIMARS MLRS and one of MLRS, five SAM [surface-to-air missile] launchers, 10 electronic warfare stations, two counter-battery radars, one air defense radar, five engineering vehicles as well as two counter obstacle vehicles and one UR-77 mine clearing vehicle,” it added.

Russian media also shared several videos showing Russian strikes and some of Ukraine’s recent losses in both Kursk and Sumy.

Kiev forces backed by foreign mercenaries infiltrated Kursk on August 6, in a surprise attack that was apparently orchestrated with help from NATO. The attack has so far claimed the lives of more than 30 Russian civilians and displaced over 140,000 others.

The Russian military has already halted the advance of Kiev forces in Kursk. Currently, work is underway to liberate the region.
