According to a Russian officer, Ukrainian troops are redeploying to another area of the Kursk region of Russia and getting ready to strike anew.
The situation remains under the control of the Russian military, Tass reported Monday, citing Apty Alaudinov, deputy head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Russian Defence Ministry.
He said most Ukrainian troops had been neutralized along with some weapons while trying to push forward; the remaining units were headed into a new area, presumably to try and attack from another angle.
Meanwhile, according to local security authorities, marines of the Russian Black Sea Fleet reported that they had detained a group of 19 Ukrainian servicemen and a sabotage unit near the village of Olgovka in the Kursk region.
The purpose of conducting the operation in Russia's Kursk region is to create a buffer zone on the territory of Russia, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday night.
On Sunday, Ukrainian Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk stated that the Air Force conducted strikes against a second important bridge in the Kursk region.
Ukraine announced on Friday that it had destroyed a bridge in the town of Glushkovo.
