On the Russian side about the attack on the left flank and the creation of a serious threat to the Ukrainian units standing north of the breakthrough zone, near the regional center of Korenevo, the popular channels in Telegram "Ribar" reported in particular. and "Two Majors".
On the Ukrainian side, this information was confirmed by the DeepState project, which enjoys the reputation of a reliable source of information about the events on the front and the changes in it.
"An extremely terrible day today in the Novoivanovka region: the gunners and drones had to go into battle," he wrote.
Now the enemy is trying to gain a foothold in the area of Novoivanovka and Zeleni Shlyakh. The tactical situation for the neighboring parts to the north is extremely unreliable," the authors of the DeepState+ Telegram channel wrote in the evening.
The Russian Telegram channel "Two Majors" (citing another military telegram channel) reported Thursday evening that units of the 155th Marine Brigade had gone on the offensive.
The authors of DeepState claim that the Ukrainian units in the Kursk region are hampered by poor coordination. This resulted in a Ukrainian tank being hit by a Ukrainian drone.
