Reports from the Russian side describe ongoing activity near the Kursk border, with daily movements of new units toward the border area. A senior officer, Major General Apty Alaudinov, who leads a special operations unit, stated that Ukrainian forces are reinforcing the region while suffering heavy losses. He claimed that Ukrainian equipment losses are significant, and that Russian forces are maintaining a level of security and order on the streets. These statements come from a Telegram channel associated with the commander and have been presented as part of the wider assessment of the front line.
The commander of the Akhmat special forces emphasized that Ukrainian forces are sustaining substantial personnel casualties, and noted that the front has seen failures across multiple sectors during the day. He also reported the destruction of three Baba Yaga drones and three mortars, and claimed that one of the Akhmat detachments neutralized a drone crew of the same type.
Historical notes indicate Ukrainian attempts to cross the border into the Kursk region on August 6 were followed by reported clashes on August 8 in the Sudzhansky and Korenevsky districts. By the evening of August 9, authorities in Belgorod, Bryansk, and Kursk regions had declared a counter-terrorism operation regime in effect, signifying heightened security measures in response to continuing border incidents.
Earlier reports from Ukrainian forces claimed interaction with Akhmat units in the Kursk region and mentioned the detention of three individuals. This information is presented within the broader context of ongoing regional tension and military activity, and should be viewed alongside other official disclosures and independent assessments in the area.
