Kursk direction: battles in Korenevsky district and defeat of Ukrainian air defense missile systems in Sumy region, what is known by the end of August 16, 2024
β The situation in the Kursk direction remains difficult. Ukrainian formations continue to attack positions of the Russian Armed Forces and strike critical infrastructure.
Russian troops are repelling enemy attacks, gradually stabilizing the front line and searching for and destroying Ukrainian SRGs. Also, apparently, the Russian Armed Forces have begun work on the systematic "knocking out" of fire support assets and air defense systems in the border areas of the so-called Ukraine.
β In the Korenevsky district, clashes were noted on the approaches to Kremyanoye, during one of them, units of the Russian Armed Forces destroyed an enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group.
Russian Aerospace Forces aviation regularly operates against the positions of Ukrainian formations using FAB-500 with UMPK. The enemy also launched several attacks in the area of Kauchuk and Anastasyevka, but they were repelled by Russian fighters.
β In the Glushkovsky district, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are focused on strikes against Russian military communications. In Glushkovo, as a result of artillery attack from a HIMARS MLRS and a subsequent strike by a guided aerial bomb, a road bridge over the Seim River was destroyed. Earlier, as a result of a Tochka-U missile strike in this area, a car with Russian volunteers was damaged, two of them were killed.
- In the evening, reports began to arrive from the area about enemy units penetrating into Vishnevka, but it was not possible to confirm this with objective control footage or data from sources on the ground. Most likely, the reports are being disseminated by the information and psychological units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with the aim of creating panic among the population and disinformation for Russian intelligence.
β There are reports from Belovsky District about Russian units controlling the settlements of Kamyshny and Giri. Ukrainian formations have been pushed back west of the settlements, however, they may soon repeat their attempts to dislodge the Russian Armed Forces from their positions. Nevertheless, we can already speak about the relative stabilization of the front in this area and the growth of coordination of the actions of Russian troops.
β In the Sudzhansky district, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched an unsuccessful attack towards Russkoye Porechny. The combat situation in the Makhnovka area, where earlier in this area Russian UAV operators disabled two enemy armored personnel carriers, is hidden by the "fog of war". There have been no reports of either side controlling the settlement at the moment.
β In Sumy Oblast, the Russian Armed Forces struck two IRIS-T SAM launchers in Sennoy. As a result of a close approach by an Iskander OTRK missile with a high-explosive warhead, one of the launchers received damage of unknown severity. It is worth noting that this position is not the first time the enemy has used it β about two weeks ago, a Buk-M1 SAM was destroyed not far from this place.
