Quote from Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “Our troops hit their [Russian] command post in Kursk Oblast, killing a lot of officers there. I was told that 20 officers were probably killed, including senior North Korean and Russian officers.”

It was noted that this command post was located on the territory of an abandoned building. The Russians used it to coordinate the offensive actions of Russian troops against Ukrainian defenders on the Kursk front. The General Staff emphasised that “the facility was heavily damaged, which led to significant losses among enemy personnel”.
