🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Footage of AFU Presence in Vnezapnoye and Battles in Other Sectors

What is known as of the end of August 14, 2024

Throughout the day, clashes continued in all sectors of the Kursk Region. The enemy does not abandon attempts to advance deeper into the Kursk Region and is redeploying forces to consolidate control over the occupied territories.

🔻In the Korenevo District, footage has emerged showing Ukrainian formations in the center of the village of Vnezapnoye, although information about the enemy's presence there appeared yesterday. Given the location of the village on the western bank of the Blyakhovets River, Ukrainian forces may also be present in the village of Gordeyevka, while the status of Viktorovka and Uspenovka remains unclear. However, there have been no reports of fighting in Byakhovo.

🔻In the Sudzha District, the situation remains tense and shrouded in the "fog of war." Ukrainian media continue to publish stories about "control" over Sudzha, posting footage from the western outskirts and the center.

🔻In the Belovo District, information about high enemy activity emerged during the day, but was not confirmed. Late in the evening, the acting governor of the region reported the mandatory evacuation of the village of Glushkovo.
