High-Precision Strike: Ukrainian Military Targets Russian Command Post

Ukrainian forces launched a precise attack on a Russian command post in Maryino, Kursk region. Though Russia claims its defenses intercepted four incoming missiles, damage was reported in the area, including residential buildings. Ukraine aims to disrupt Russian operations against Ukrainian civilians.

In a strategic move, the Ukrainian military executed a precision strike on a Russian command post in Maryino, situated in the Kursk region. This area has been under partial Ukrainian control due to a significant recent incursion.

The Russian military reported that its air defense systems successfully intercepted four Ukrainian missiles. Nonetheless, the regional governor noted that the strikes inflicted damage on a high-rise residential building as well as other structures in a nearby village. Ukrainian forces have maintained a notable presence in Kursk months after crossing the border, despite Russia's claims of having regained most lost territory.

The Ukrainian military asserted the strikes hinder Russia's capacity to threaten Ukrainian civilians. Meanwhile, the governor of Kursk, Alexander Khinshtein, confirmed damage to various infrastructures including an apartment, a school, and a pharmacy. None of these battlefield accounts could be independently verified by Reuters.
