The Ukrainian Armed Forces' operation in the Kursk region has been ongoing for nearly two weeks, with new advancements reported within Russian territory, according to a report from the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
Geolocation footage from August 17 shows Russian forces striking Ukrainian armored vehicles in northern Martynovka (northeast of Sudzha). This indicates that Ukrainian forces have recently advanced to this settlement.
On August 18, a Russian war correspondent reported that Ukrainian troops had captured Troitskoye (south of Korenevo and approximately two kilometers from the international border) and advanced to Semenovka (north of Sudzha and about 24 kilometers from the international border).
The Russian Ministry of Defense and Russian war correspondents have reported that Ukrainian forces conducted attacks:
