Ukrainian forces conducted assaults at multiple locations in Kursk Oblast

There were no confirmed Ukrainian advances

Ukrainian special forces operators infiltrated into Russia carrying a Cold War-era laser designation system and called in three M712 Copperhead 155mm laser-guided rounds from an M777 howitzer to hit a communications tower near Russian villages Pravda and Martynovka, eight kilometers northeast of Sudzha. Two direct hits and one near-miss were scored.

The engagement took place on Sept. 1 as part of Ukraine's three-month-old invasion of Russia's Kursk region.

Since September 2024, Russia has not controlled part of its internationally recognised territory: The Ukrainian Defence Forces are conducting a defensive operation in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation.

Moscow's reaction to the offensive was delayed, allowing Ukraine to capture more territory

Russia managed to avoid significant weakening of positions on other fronts

Russian army resumed offensive operations in autumn
