📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Kursk Region - #Summary for the Morning of 8 August 2024; 07:03 (GMT+3)📍

🗓 Yesterday's day was characterised by the expansion of the enemy control zone in the #Kursk region. 🗺👇 By the evening the AFU was stopped by combat near the working village of #Korenevo, although the foe clearly intended to go even further, to #Rylsk. The foe is gaining a foothold, pulling reserves, increasing the presence of equipment in the region, despite the constant strikes of our aviation and drones. At around 03:00., 7 AFU missiles were shot down by air defence forces over the region.

🔹We can see the foe's plan to reach the #Kursk NPP through #Lgov. Our side is taking counter measures to protect the facility. There are reports of the enemy's approach to the village of #MalayaLoknya.

🔹The situation is complicated by the work of the foe's air defence, which creates risks for the actions of our aircraft against foe's armoured vehicles. The Russian Army is bringing in reinforcements. Apti Alaudinov arrived in the region with the so-called "International" Akhmat, reported the entry of his units into the work. There are also reports that the RFAF are transferring reserves from other directions.

🔹Against this background, information about the increased activity of the foe and possible provocations and breakthrough attempts in the #Bryansk, #Belgorod, #Zaporozhye and #Kherson directions, as well as about the possible opening of another section of the front near the #Kursk border is spreading in the net. At the same time, no information about such actions of the AFU has been received so far.

🔹Yesterday, the foe replicated footage of our prisoners in the uniforms of enlisted servicemen of the RFAF, as well as bodies lying on the ground near the Sudzha Checkpoint on the border. Over the past day our dispersed units have been withdrawing from the enemy encirclement.

📌 The situation is complicated, the trend is caused by the foe's engagement of larger forces than previously estimated. Our forces will have to stabilise the front and localise further AFU breakthroughs.
