The Sever Group of Forces inflicted heavy losses on Ukraine’s 22nd and 44th mechanized brigades, 82nd and 95th air assault brigades while conducting offensive operations close to the settlements of Lyubimovka, Daryino, Nikolayevo-Daryino, Pokrovsky and Borki in the direction of Kursk, the Russian Ministry of Defense said in its September 13 briefing.
The ministry added that the Russian military group also repelled a counter-attack launched by Kiev forces near the settlements of Obukhovka, and thwarted two attempts to launch attacks close to the settelments of Kamyshevka and Borki.
“As a result, the AFU [Armed Forces of Ukraine] losses amounted to up to 20 troops killed and wounded, one AFU serviceman was taken prisoner; two armored fighting vehicles and one motor vehicle were destroyed,” the ministry detailed in the briefing.
The Sever Group of Forces also foiled three Ukrainian attempts to to break through the Russian border close to the settlements of Novy Put, Medvezhye and Vesyoloye, according to the ministry.
“The AFU losses amounted to up to 50 troops killed and wounded; five tanks, two infantry fighting vehicles, one armored personnel carrier, nine armored fighting vehicles, two motor vehicles, and two counter obstacle vehicles,” it said in the briefing.
The ministry also announced that Russian air and artillery strikes inflicted losses on the 22nd, 61st, 115th mechanized brigades, 17th Tank Brigade, 80th and 95th air assault brigades, 1st National Guard Brigade and 129th Territorial Defence Brigade near the settlements of Borki, Guyevo, Daryino, Zeleny Shlyakh, Kositsa, Lyubimovka, Malaya Loknya, Martynovka, Novaya Sorochina, Novoivanovka, Nikolayevo-Daryino, Pokrovsky and Uspenovka.

Kiev forces launched a surprise attack from Sumy into Kursk last August. Since the start of the attack, at least 31 Russian civilians have been killed and more than 143 others have been wounded. Moreover, the attack displaced more than 144,000 civilians. The fate of some 2,000 others who lived in areas attacked by Kiev forces remain unknown.
The Russian military launched a counter-attack in Kursk earlier this week. So far, nearly a dozen settlements have been reportedly liberated.
According to the Russian MoD, since the start of the battle in Kursk Kiev forces have lost 12,795 troops, 108 tanks, 44 infantry fighting vehicles, 86 armored personnel carriers, 691 armored fighting vehicles, 418 motor vehicles, 93 artillery guns, 26 launchers, including seven American-made HIMARS and five MLRS systems, eight air defense systems, two transport-loading vehicles, 25 electronic warfare stations, seven counter-battery radars, two aerial radars, 12 engineering vehicles, including six counter obstacle vehicles and one UR-77 mine clearing vehicle.

russian heroes are being honored by great putin in his heroic act in kursk while the nazis fail to advance any further, this only shows how strong the russian people are determined and
there’s two sides to every story. and often both are lying. not saying they are but it’s the truth that is always the first casualty of war always abd forever amon
just like with the recently departing of the mighty uss theodore roosevelt task group and its going in an easterly direction to avoid houthie barefoot fighters and their crude drones, it is downing on the over confident zionist enslaved green goes they have nothing to gain and much to lose in todays multipolar world. they will also back down on allowing atacms to strike deep inside russia. mark my words.
it’s always been multipolar there’s never been a pharoah over more than egypt.
me lose to taliban viet cong and pygmy air force
in my opinion to keep the border areas safe from invaders you need to clear an area of 2 km of everything and arm the russian border guards with machine guns that shoot 1000 rounds per minute. the reach of these machine guns is around 1,5 km so problem solved👍
grow up its war not playground.
nato needs to withdraw immediately from the kursk battlezone or their troops will be destroyed completely🤫
don’t be silly.
suicidal mission no doubt. what i would like to know is how ukraine managed to move 200 tanks and hundreds of other vehicles to the russian border and russia not notice it.
nepodarilo!!! rus ich tam vpustil úmyselne. tu ich ľahšie dokáže ničiť, ako by ich ničil na donbase, alebo v okolí kyjeva. šachista ak chce vyhrať partiu musí úmyselne obetovať pešiaka, niekedy je to dokonca i ľahká figúrka, ako je jazdec či strelec!!! záleží to hlavne od danej hry a súpera.
who says they didn’t notice it?
napoleon: “never interfere with your enemy when he is making a mistake.”
rusom sa podarilo to čo mali v pláne. vylákali fašistické beštie a teraz ich postupne pomaly likvidujú. tomu sa povie stratégia!!! a sprostí fašisti z kyjeva na to naleteli. fašisti v kursku majú denné straty cca 330 vojakov, čo je celkom veľa. hlavne ak sa jedná o elitné vojská, ktoré boli vycvičené na západe a bojujú zo západnou technikou. a tak isto ak sa jedná o vojakov (zto) nato!!! svetu mier!!!
poohtin inflicts a massive load of shit into his pants…heheheh
ah, if wishes were knishes, you could open up your own kosher kielbasa and knish stand in kiev.
