On January 2, a strike was launched against the Russian troops in the Kursk region. Russian troops suffered significant losses, according to Andrii Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation.

“There was a successful strike. Russia’s 810th brigade suffered significant losses as a result,” he wrote.

According to local Telegram channels, the village of Ivanivske in Rylsk district came under fire. It is not yet known whether there were any casualties during the shelling.

The administration of the Rylsk district reported that the head of the district, Andrey Belousov, went to Ivanivske, and refused to comment on the situation by phone.

In addition to the house of culture, according to the acting governor of the Kursk region, Alexander Khinstein, a boarding school, a post office, a shopping center, and a residential building were damaged – windows were smashed and shrapnel damaged the walls.

Russia’s 810th brigade

Russia’s 810th Marine Brigade is based in the temporarily occupied Sevastopol, Crimea. Russian occupants of this unit are participating in the war in Ukraine in the Kursk direction.

Back in June 2024, the guerrillas received documents from the Russian occupiers of the 126th and 810th Brigades of Crimea. They also learned that the Russian marines of the 810th in Crimea paid their commanders not to go to war in the Kursk region.

In turn, the Russian command is trying to conceal the data on losses.

Ukrainian Armed Forces strike at Russia’s 810th Brigade

It is important to note that the 810th Brigade was attacked by the Ukrainian Defense Forces in November 2023. The Armed Forces of Ukraine called this strike revenge for the 128th Brigade, which was attacked by the invaders in early November of the same year.

At that time, the 128th Brigade, which was stationed in a frontline village in Zaporizhzhia region, was gathered for an award ceremony on the Day of Missile and Artillery Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
