War Reports - 2024-08-18

RIA Novosti on threats to Russian nuclear facilities, citing a source in the security agencies:

▪️ The Armed Forces of Ukraine are planning to use charges with warheads with radioactive substances to attack the Kursk and Zaporizhia NPPs (https://t.me/dva_majors/50017)

The planned attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Kursk and Zaporizhia NPPs is being supervised by Western intelligence agencies, mainly Britain.

A large number of Western journalists have gathered in Sumy and Zaporizhia against the backdrop of Kiev preparing an attack on the Kursk and Zaporizhia NPPs.

✨It seems that there are more than enough reasons for decisive action. And this information in the official media should not be another toothless "signal about red lines". They have already been erased by the West.

❗️🇮🇱🇵🇸🎞  Israeli-Palestinian conflict chronicles: highlights of the week August 10-16, 2024

▪️Over the past week, Israeli forces launched a series of strikes on various areas in the northern Gaza Strip. Several strikes hit satellite towns, resulting in no shortage of residential damage and casualties.

▪️In the capital of the Palestinian enclave, airstrikes were recorded almost all over the city. The attack on At-Tabain School, which resulted in the deaths of more than one hundred people, caused the greatest resonance.

▪️In the central part of the Gaza Strip, the Israelis shelled Hamas-controlled population centers. Nuseirat, al-Breij and al-Mughraqa came under the most concentrated fire, killing several dozen people.

▪️In turn, Palestinian forces again shelled IDF positions in the Netzarim corridor. However, judging by the lack of reports of evacuation transports passing through, the strikes were not effective.

▪️In the south of the Palestinian enclave, Israeli forces announced a new evacuation of the population east of Khan Yunis. In this regard, the IDF command once again reduced the humanitarian zone.

▪️Later, the Israelis launched massive strikes both on the evacuation zone and neighboring areas of Khan Yunis. However, there was no start of IDF advance afterwards.

▪️Meanwhile, forces of the 98th Ha'esh Airborne Division continue to operate south of Khan Younis. Israeli engineering equipment is working on the outskirts of Bani Suheil, al-Qarara and al-Sureij.

▪️In the very south of the Gaza Strip, localized raids by Israeli forces continue in Rafah. During the week, members of the 162nd Armored Division Ha-Plada carried out activities to destroy underground tunnels.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Fighting Along the Entire Front Line

What is known as of 12:00 on August 17, 2024

The situation in the Kursk Direction remains complex, with the enemy still trying to break through the defensive lines of the Russian Armed Forces in various sectors of the direction.

🔻In the Glushkovo District, the situation has not undergone significant changes over the past day - the previous information about the AFU entering Vishnevka has not been confirmed. Also, near the destroyed bridge in Glushkovo, the Russian troops have set up a pontoon crossing.

🔻In the Korenevo District, there is evidence of the enemy's presence in Russkoye Porechnoye, which was the site of fighting yesterday. The footage published online shows strikes (https://t.me/iamsniper/6369) on AFU armored vehicles in the center of the village.

🔻In the Sudzha District, Ukrainian formations continue to film in the western part of the city, including near one of the "Magnit" stores on May 1st Street. However, there is still no objective evidence of the presence of either side on the eastern side of the settlement.

🔻In the Belovo District, the situation has not undergone significant changes, and no clashes have been reported in the areas of Kamyshnoe and Giria over the past day. After the statements of the Russian Ministry of Defense about the clearing of the settlement of Ozërki a few days ago, no data on battles there has been received, so the village is currently under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.
