📋 (https://t.me/dva_majors/49029)🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Kursk Region - #Summary for the Morning of 8 August 2024; 07:03 (GMT+3)📍 (https://t.me/dva_majors/49075)
🗓 Yesterday's day was characterised by the expansion of the enemy control zone (https://t.me/dva_majors/49029) 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.

🇮🇱 ISRAEL SAYS WILL MURDER SINWAR, FORCE HAMAS TO CHANGE LEADERSHIP AGAIN having learned nothing (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/40261) from political level-up from Haniyeh to the Al Aqsa Flood mastermind himself (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/28820) as Tel Aviv again chooses violence.
Yesterday, Yahya Sinwar received a new title - head of Hamas politboro. This political role will not absolve him from the fact that he is a murderer who belongs to the entire planning and execution of October 7, therefore the change in his title not only prevents us from looking for him, we will make an effort to find him, attack him and change the head of Political Bureau once again - IDF Chief of Staff.

Information at Дневника Десантника (https://t.me/two_majors/29167) from local residents. With permission from the respected blue berets, we help filter the data and adjust the work of the channel administration to prevent the spread of rumors.
The enemy has really become active this morning. There were reports of fighting near Korenevo. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are clearing residential areas in the occupied territories. They are dispersing equipment across forest areas. The enemy's sabotage and reconnaissance group is operating behind the conventional LBS line, trying to use MANPADS, limiting the work of our helicopters.
There are battles going on in Kruglenky, the enemy is also present in Kazachya Loknya.
The villages of Lyubimovka, Tolsty Lug, Snagost and others were shelled.
In Novoivanovka, the Nazis took civilians prisoner, and the village also suffered greatly from shelling.
The fascists take civilians prisoner, some local residents remain in their homes, thereby endangering not only their own lives, but also preventing the military from working to their full potential.
Around 9 am, according to incoming data, 6-7 Ukrainian Armed Forces tanks were firing at civilian homes in Ivnitsa.
Kursk direction
According to open data, the enemy is fighting near Korenevo (https://t.me/rybar/62547) . Local residents write (https://t.me/dva_majors/49086) about the occupation of the settlement of Kazachya Loknya by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and battles near the settlement of Kruglen'koye. This is much further north than Malaya Loknya marked on our crooked map, which may indicate raiding actions by enemy forces. The enemy is clearing the area and residential areas. Taking civilians prisoner. There are reports of reprisals against civilians. There were again shootings of civilian cars by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. People are being evacuated by regional authorities from wherever possible , with maximum efforts being made.
Due to the military invasion, a state of emergency has been declared in the region.
Our troops are erecting positions and building defenses to stabilize the situation. At the same time, the enemy is also digging in, which indicates that the upcoming battles will probably be long-term.
We emphasize that the enemy's actions are of a raid nature from the occupied bridgehead. That is, individual armored groups and other forces can carry out demonstrative raids (https://t.me/dva_majors/49090) in order to mislead our headquarters regarding their presence, after which they roll back.

We are asked whether the civilian population should leave
✨ We answer: If you hear the sounds of fighting (not to be confused with artillery), the movement of equipment, or someone else occupying positions, then you should definitely leave.
Take all the documents, hang white rags on the cars, no military style in clothing.
Avoid the Ukrainian Armed Forces posts. Information is coming from Lebedivka about another shooting of civilian transport by the Nazis.
❗️If there is no possibility to leave, go down to the basements and cellars with supplies of water, medicine, means of communication, provisions. Some civilians left through the vegetable gardens on foot at night, but the Nazis fired at civilians.
‼️The presence of civilians in villages does not allow the Russian Armed Forces to use heavy weapons like FAB.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk direction: capture of Sudzha, strengthening and expansion of the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
what is known 14:00 on August 8, 2024
During the night of August 7-8, Ukrainian formations brought up reserves and began engineering equipment of positions, simultaneously increasing the onslaught and trying to advance in the Korenevsky and Sudzhansky districts . The threat of an offensive by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Glushkovsky district in the Tyotkino direction remains.
📌At the same time, the current efforts of the joint group of troops are not enough to eliminate the consequences. The Ukrainian leadership openly admits that the offensive in the Kursk region is not the work of the "legendary" RDK, LSR and other "Vyrusians", but a full-fledged operation of the AFU "strengthen negotiating positions" .
On the Ukrainian side, the 82nd and 80th separate airborne assault brigades are currently advancing with the support of the 22nd and 61st separate mechanized brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In addition, the 150th separate mechanized brigade, 5th separate airborne brigade, 151st separate troop brigade, and 24th separate separate mechanized brigade are also participating (https://t.me/dva_majors/49105) in the events to a limited extent.
🔻The situation in Sudzhansky district remains difficult.
▪️Apparently, there are still some pockets of resistance in the administrative center (and, most likely, we are talking mainly about local militias), but the city itself is almost completely under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces . Russian forces control the roundabout to the east of the city. Footage of Ukrainian forces transferring equipment to Sudzha has already appeared online.
▪️Ukrainian formations also managed to enter and gain a foothold in Mirny .
▪️Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups operating through the fields from the direction of Kazachya Loknya , which, apparently, is under the complete control of the enemy, as are the villages of Bogdanovka , Knyazhiy , 1st Knyazhiy and 2nd Knyazhiy , are trying to encircle the advance groups of the Russian Armed Forces by attacking through the fields in the direction of Martynovka .
▪️In the northern part, the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as Two Majors claim (https://t.me/dva_majors/49096) , have reached Anastasyevka . If this information is confirmed, it could be a consequence of an unimpeded breakthrough along the Lgov-Sudzha road. The fate of the villages located to the west of the road is unknown, the area is covered by the "fog of war".
🔻In the Korenevsky district , the enemy continued to build on the success achieved the day before.
▪️According to separate information, mobile armored groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have again reached the administrative center of Korenevo . Despite reports of the complete loss of the settlement, Russian troops repelled the attack and pushed the Ukrainian Armed Forces back to the Novoivanovka line.
▪️The fighting began in the village of Snagost : given its geographical location, it is quite possible that the zone of control of the fighting will expand to the south with a simultaneous strike by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Uspenovka and Gordeyevka .
❗️Judging by the emerging control zones, for now Ukrainian formations are relying on breaking through unprepared lines, bypassing them and cutting off Russian reinforcement groups that are trying to stabilize the situation.
At the same time, the enemy continues to pull in reinforcements and engineering equipment, turning captured settlements into fortified areas. No one stands on ceremony with the civilian population: the Ukrainian formations do not need them, so civilians (without distinction of gender or age) are "finished off" on the spot.
A simple conclusion can be drawn from this: occupation is not the goal . The goal is to create a point of tension and a fortified area that will be a "thorn" and a "reputational loss" for the Russian Federation for the longest possible period of time . And for this - in the opinion of the Kiev regime - all means are good.
