After entering the Kursk region, the Ukrainian army liberated many Russian-occupied areas, attacked with American bombs

 

Kiev:  The Ukrainian army has now claimed to liberate several Russian-occupied Ukrainian regions after entering the Kursk region. Ukraine also claimed that it used high-precision glide bombs provided by the US to attack Russia’s Kursk region. It also claimed that it has recaptured the eastern region of Kharkiv, where Russia launched a major offensive. Ukraine’s Air Force Commander Lieutenant General Mykola Oleschuk released a video on Thursday night, showing an attack on a Russian platoon base in the Kursk region.

He said the attack with GBU-39 bombs caused Russian casualties and destroyed equipment. The video showed several explosions and smoke rising from the scene. In addition, the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian army said in a statement late Thursday that its troops had advanced about two square kilometers in the Kharkiv region. It was not reported when the attack was carried out, what was its scale, and what was the area of ​​attack. It is difficult to predict whether it will have a further impact on the battlefield.

Ukraine retaliates in Kharkiv

Ukraine’s alleged retaliatory strikes in the Kharkiv region come as its forces have gained new momentum and shifted the battlefield this month. Kiev launched an offensive in Russia’s western Kursk region on August 6, while also stepping up drone warfare against military and fuel targets. Russia claimed heavy losses in these attacks. Few new details emerged on Friday about the damage and casualties from these attacks.
