Last night, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the command post of the 810th Separate Marine Brigade in Russia's Lgov, Kursk region. Russia suffered losses among officers, according to the Ukrainian Armed Forces Strategic Communications.

“Last night, the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck at the location of the command post of the 810th Separate Marine Corps of Russia, which was located in an abandoned civilian building in the village of Lgov. This fire attack is part of a comprehensive campaign to weaken the ability of the Russian Armed Forces to coordinate military operations against the people of Ukraine,” the Ukrainian Armed Forces StratCom wrote.

According to Andrii Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, Russia suffered losses among officers as a result of the strike.

Meanwhile, the Telegram channel Meduza, citing the acting governor of the Kursk region, Alexander Khinstein, claims that four people were allegedly killed in the attack on Lgov.

Local Telegram channels also confirm the attack on the control center.

“No details yet. But the consequences are severe,” Novosti Rylsk writes.

Strikes on Russian territory

Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, drone attacks on Russian territory have become increasingly frequent. Drones are striking at infrastructure and military targets, including oil depots, ammunition depots, and airfields.

For example, on December 24, drones attacked the Millerovo air base in the Rostov region. According to media reports, drones s may have been targeting Su-25 attack aircraft.
