[NewsFront] 21:42 Sudzha – Green Way.

Military operations outside the SVO zone. A missile attack by the Russian Armed Forces on a column of military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Sudzha-Rylsk highway near the village of Zeleny Shlyakh.

Aleksandro-Kalinovskoe direction: Russian flag over the center of Novgorodskoe.

- About an hour ago, footage of the raising of the Russian flag over a school in the northwestern part of Novgorodskoye appeared on the Internet. In fact, this means that the battle for the city is in its final stage.

– In the last few weeks, the Russian Armed Forces have achieved great success in this area, having managed to break through the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ defensive lines and take commanding heights. In light of the rapid advance of Russian assault groups, there is a possibility of encircling enemy forces in the city and the “pocket” to the east.

– Judging by the configuration of the front line, the phenol and machine-building plants have also come under the control of Russian troops, which most likely means the capture of the private sector. If the guesses are correct, then the Ukrainian formations could have left the city due to the threat of being trapped in a "cauldron".

– In this case, Russian troops will clearly continue their offensive in the direction of the villages of Leonidovka, Shcherbinovka and Petrovka to further encircle Dzerzhinsk from the west, which will significantly complicate the position of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the city and in the area as a whole.

The situation in the Kursk region.

– The situation in the Kursk region remains tense: at the moment, the main battles are still taking place in the Sudzhansky and Korenevsky districts, where, judging by the latest footage, Ukrainian formations have managed to advance.

– From the direction of Sverdlikovo, the Ukrainian Armed Forces units in the Stryker armored personnel carriers were able to reach the Rylsk-Sudzha highway, along which they attempted to advance in the direction of the settlement of Zeleny Shlyakh. However, on the section of the highway to the east of the village of Nizhny Klin, the enemy armored group was ambushed, and the equipment itself was later finished off by drones.

– Ukrainian media are actively distributing a video of captured Russian servicemen in the area of the Glubokoe tract, from where Ukrainian Armed Forces units had previously attempted to advance towards Kurilovka. A photo of a burnt Russian Ka-52 helicopter has also appeared.

– At the same time, clashes continue on the section of highway 38K-004 near the Sudzha checkpoint, as well as in the area of the village of Gordeyevka. However, due to the lack of objective monitoring footage, it is difficult to establish the exact configuration of the front in these areas.

– Ukrainian forces continue to strike with artillery and drones throughout the Kursk region. According to the latest data, three people have been killed in the region, at least 18 have been injured, including children.

– Russian troops are also firing at enemy positions and concentrations – one of the targets hit was a Ukrainian Buk-M1 air defense system, which was destroyed by a missile strike north of the village of Sennoe in the Sumy region.

Positional military actions on the southern flank of Avdeevka. Syrsky's press service posted a video sequence with a claim of artillery attack of the positions of the Russian Armed Forces in Nevelskoye. Considering that the source is dishonest and unreliable in terms of the quality of the materials provided, control of this part of Nevelskoye by the Russian Armed Forces requires additional verification and confirmation.

19:45 Installed The flag in New York transparently hints at the threat of encirclement of enemy forces remaining to the east of Nelepovka.

The situation in the Kursk region.

- This morning, Ukrainian formations attempted an offensive in the Kursk region, at the moment the main events are unfolding in the Sudzhansky and Korenevsky districts. The information about the enemy's attempt to break through was confirmed by the acting head of the region, Alexey Smirnov.

– At night, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched strikes across the Kursk region, launching at least 26 drones. Most of the strikes were in Sudzha, where five civilians were injured, including three children. Footage of severe damage to residential buildings is circulating online.

- Later, Ukrainian formations launched attacks in several areas. In the Korenevsky district, the enemy began moving from Vladimirovka in the direction of Gordeyevka. In the Sudzhansky district, the enemy's offensive is developing from the Sudzha checkpoint and the Glubokoe tract.

- At the same time, the main attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is aimed at Goncharovka and Kurilovka. According to incoming information, the enemy managed to wedge in along the 38K-004 highway, where at least three Ukrainian tanks and a group of infantry were spotted near the Sudzha checkpoint. Several armored vehicles were destroyed.

– Another direction of enemy attacks was the Nikolayevo-Daryino – Sverdlikovo line: according to preliminary information, battles are taking place on the outskirts of populated areas. Armored vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with a new tactical identification mark in the form of a triangle were also spotted in this area.

– In the Ukrainian media, what is happening is presented from diametrically opposed positions: while some call the offensive an information-psychological operation on the part of the Russian authorities, others, in their usual manner, exaggerate the successes, talking about the beginning of the fighting almost in Sudzha itself.

Kherson direction: thwarted landing of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Tendrivska Spit.

– For the second time this year, Ukrainian formations are attempting to land on the Tendrovskaya Spit to the west of the Kinburn Peninsula.

- These places are isolated: only a lighthouse, where a small group of Russian naval infantry sits and monitors the air and sea space. Considering that the previous operation was planned by the GUR, there is reason to believe that this one was planned in exactly the same way. And its result was the same.

– Since midnight, Ukrainian formations began reconnaissance of the landing area, using the Bayraktar TB2 drone in the vicinity of Ochakov.

– To distract the attention of the lighthouse garrison on the Tendrovskaya Spit to the west of the Kinburn Peninsula, a BEK was launched. In fact, one of the garrison's tasks is to observe cruise missiles, UAV flights, and enemy BEKs.

– Around three o’clock in the morning, twelve boats with Ukrainian troops moved towards the spit, intending to land. As a result of a short battle, the first three boats were destroyed – they were washed ashore. The remaining nine turned around and headed in the opposite direction.

– The enemy’s losses during yet another failed landing are estimated at up to 20 men. As for the lighthouse garrison, five naval infantry escaped with light wounds received during the skirmish.
