Ukrainian forces have made headlines with a significant military operation, marking their second successful breach of the Russian border since the conflict escalated.
Dismantled Fortified Position
Reports from the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces indicate that units from the 95th Airborne Brigade penetrated a section of the Russian frontier, showcasing their ongoing military capabilities and determination, according to Hotnews.
The operation was announced through various channels, including visual documentation that highlights the intensity and success of the mission.
Ukrainian officials stated that the assault units not only breached Russian defenses but also engaged in combat, reportedly dismantling a fortified Russian position.
Specific details regarding the exact location of this breach have not been disclosed, maintaining a level of operational security.
Civilian Casualties
This bold move follows Ukraine's declaration on August 6, when it launched the largest foreign attack on Russian territory since World War II, supported by waves of drones and heavy weaponry, much of which is of Western origin.
The conflict has resulted in significant civilian casualties; as of early September, Russian officials reported at least 31 deaths and 256 injuries due to the Ukrainian offensive in the Kursk region.
In response, approximately 131,000 civilians have evacuated the most dangerous areas of Kursk, highlighting the human cost of the ongoing conflict.
