Ukrainian intelligence conducted a successful operation in the village of Tetkino, Kursk region of Russia. FPV drones destroyed communications equipment, vehicles, and a building with enemy personnel, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine says.

The operation in the Kursk region was conducted by the Vidmak (Witcher in Ukrainian - ed.) strike and reconnaissance group together with the State Border Guard Service and the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian intelligence found out the location of Russian communications equipment, vehicles, and personnel.

The targets were eliminated with the help of FPV drones.

“The pilots of the kamikaze drones have demonstrated their skills and continue to effectively strike at the Muscovites,” the statement said.

Kursk operation

Since August, Ukraine has been conducting an operation in the border areas of the Kursk region of Russia. During this time, a military commandant's office has been established there, about 100 Russian settlements have been taken under control, and hundreds of Russian soldiers have been captured. Some of them have already been exchanged for Ukrainians.

In mid-August, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the Russian command to fully regain control of the entire territory of the Kursk region. However, their counteroffensive failed.
