🇮🇱🇸🇾 A few days after a massive air strike, Israeli forces have again attacked Syrian territory: a drone strike hit a vehicle on the El-Kuneitra - Damascus road.

As a result of the car explosion, two people were killed and several others nearby were injured. According to Israeli media, one of the killed was a combatant, and the other was a civilian.

Given the nature of such attacks, the likely targets of the Israelis were either a fighter from the Lebanese "Hezbollah", or a field commander of one of the Palestinian groups that have branches in Syria.

For example, recently during a targeted strike on a vehicle on the Damascus - Beirut international highway, both members of the military wing of the "Palestinian Islamic Jihad" and Hezbollah were killed simultaneously.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Counterattacks by the Russian Army in Sudzha and Korenevo Districts
Situation as of the end of September 12, 2024

In the Kursk Region, Russian units are developing the success of previous days, pushing the AFU out of many previously occupied settlements.

🔻In the Korenevo District, the Russian Armed Forces cleared the settlement of Krasnooctyabr'skoye. As a trophy, the Russian troops captured an abandoned International MaxxPro armored vehicle. The enemy also attacked a storm group near Vishnevka with a drone, and later the Russian Ministry of Defense reported its liberation. In Snagost', a detachment of Ukrainian fighters fell into an organized ambush on the southern outskirts of the village: a minibus with AFU members was shot at point-blank range with an RPG.

▪️In addition, Russian troops liberated Obukhovka, advanced towards the Pokrovsky farm in the Sudzha District. The enemy was driven out of the outskirts of Byakhovo, Gordeyevka, Vnezapnoye and Viktorovka. At the same time, north of Ol'govka, fighting is still ongoing, where the Russian Armed Forces are repelling attempts by the AFU to wedge deeper into the Russian defense.

🔻In the Glushkovo District, Ukrainian formations continue to unsuccessfully attack towards the outskirts of the settlements of Medvezh'ye and Novy Put'. In the latter, an IMR-2 mine clearing vehicle even managed to drive several hundred meters before detonating a mine. At the moment, fighting continues in the area of the state border line, attempts by the enemy to consolidate in the villages have been thwarted.

🔻In the Sudzha District, a Russian BMP fired point-blank at Ukrainian positions in Russkaya Konopel'ka, and the village is now largely under the control of the Russian Armed Forces. Fighting continues in the area of Martynivka and Fanaseyevka.

▪️The enemy published footage of shelling Russian positions near Malaya Loknya. However, due to the lack of destruction in the village shown in the published video, it is more likely that the footage is from the archive.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Start of Battles for Lyubimovka and Defense of Veseloye
Situation as of 8:00 PM on September 14, 2024

In the Kursk Direction, Russian forces during the counteroffensive have reached the outskirts of Lyubimovka and Pokrovskoye. At the same time, the enemy is attacking the flank of the Russian Armed Forces in order to reduce the pace of the advance.

🔻In the south of Glushkovo District, fighting has been ongoing for more than a day on the southern outskirts of Veseloye, where Ukrainian formations advanced after overcoming obstacles on the border several days earlier.

The previously occupied Novy Put is being used by the enemy as a staging area, where AFU assault groups dismount for further engagement around Veseloye.

🔻In the Korenevo District, advanced assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces have reached the outskirts of Pokrovskoye and Lyubimovka, with clashes taking place in the western part of the latter. The enemy is deploying reinforcements in order to slow the advance of Russian troops.

Artillery and aviation are providing support to the advancing Russian units, regularly "knocking out" AFU fire support assets. For example, in the area of Daryino, the VKS aviation destroyed an enemy self-propelled gun at a firing position in the forest.

❗️The liberation of Lyubimovka will create a threat to the AFU communications running through Highway 38K-030. In this case, the enemy grouping in the Korenevo area may face a severe supply shortage.

The spreading information about the liberation of Daryino has not yet been confirmed, although with the current pace of advancement, the Russian Armed Forces can soon be expected to reach the northern outskirts of the village. The Snagost River poses a natural obstacle.

🔻In the Sudzha District, the Russian Armed Forces conducted an attack on Borki: after air strikes, assault groups entered the village and began to destroy Ukrainian firing positions.

At the moment, the enemy has been driven out of positions at least in the northeastern part of the settlement. This vector of the Russian forces' advance suggests that the neighboring Spalnoye is already under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Advance of Russian Troops in Korenevo District and AFU Attacks in Glushkovo
Situation as of the end of September 16, 2024

▪️Ukrainian formations continue attempts to advance in the Glushkovo District, attacking the positions of the Russian Armed Forces near Krasnooktyabr'skoye, Veseloye and Medvezh'ye. Reports of the enemy entering the first two settlements are not confirmed by objective control footage, while north of Medvezh'ye, UAV operators struck a group of AFU armored vehicles heading towards Glushkovo.

▪️In the Korenevo District, the Russian Armed Forces are advancing, liberating Russian villages. Today, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced control over Uspenovka, but it has not yet been possible to confirm this with video materials, as well as the liberation of Dar'ino. It is only reliably known that attacks by the Russian Armed Forces continue in the direction of settlements.

In addition, battles are ongoing in Lyubimovka located to the north, and east of it, a Ukrainian tank was destroyed in the area of Zeleny Shlyakh.

▪️In the Sudzha District, the Russian Aerospace Forces are actively working on identified enemy concentration areas near Pravda and in the vicinity of Yuzhnoye. In addition, there are also official reports of the liberation of the village of Borki, but according to information from the ground, there may be sporadic presence of Ukrainian formations on the western outskirts. Contradictory information is also coming in about the advance of Russian assault groups to the outskirts of Plekhovo.

▪️The section from Spal'noye to Kucherov to Ozerki has been relatively quiet for a long time, with neither settlement mentioned in reports from either side. Likely, the territory was cleared by Russian troops after repelling attacks on Giryï, or some time later.

▪️In the area of Novy Put', UAVs struck AFU equipment, which cannot be identified. Some sources call it an American-made M270 MLRS system, but its presence near the front lines is almost meaningless due to the high risk of elimination.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Pokrovsk Direction: Liberation of Ukrainsk and Attacks by the Russian Armed Forces in Hrodivka
Situation as of the end of September 17, 2024

🔻Russian forces continue to advance in the Pokrovsk direction. On the northern flank, fighting continues in Hrodivka, where Russian assault troops have advanced on the western outskirts of the settlement in the area of Krasnaya Street, allowing them to push the enemy out of the western part of the urban-type settlement south of the Zhuravka River.

Advances by the Russian Armed Forces are also being recorded in the northern part of the settlement. Judging by footage of strikes by the enemy, Russian units have occupied buildings on Yarovaya (Stakhanov) Street. Thus, less than a third of the city remains under the control of the enemy.

The situation between Novohrodivka and Hrodivka remains shrouded in the "fog of war" for now. Attacks by the enemy were recorded in the vicinity of Krytyi Yar, but it is unclear whether the AFU managed to consolidate there. Fighting continues west of Novohrodivka, and the enemy is actively counterattacking towards Mykhailivka near Selidovo.

🔻In addition, for several days in a row, reports of the success of Russian assault troops came from Ukrainsk. By the evening of September 17, footage appeared online showing the flags of the 114th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade on the mine shaft "Ukraina", at the "Ukraina" cinema, and at school No. 12: this allows us to assert full control over the settlement, which, judging by panoramic shots, did not suffer much damage.

❗️The status of the slag heap on the western outskirts of the settlement is still in question. On the one hand, without control of the settlement, it is very problematic to occupy and supply positions on this height. On the other hand, as practice shows, Ukrainian formations often cling even to extremely inconvenient positions.

The capture of the city will also allow the development of the offensive towards Tsukuryne and Hirnyk.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 South Donetsk Direction: Advances by the Russian Armed Forces in Several Sectors
Situation as of 3:00 PM on September 21, 2024

Over the past few weeks, Russian Armed Forces units have been developing an offensive in the Vuhledar area: earlier on this section of the front, Russian troops successfully expanded the zone of control near the Yuzhnodonbass Mine No. 3, and yesterday evening footage appeared confirming the advance of assault troops towards Novoukrainka.

▪️On the northern flank, the clearing of the remaining part of Kostyantynivka, where pockets of enemy presence had persisted until then, has been completed. However, the work of Russian fighters is complicated by the active use of drones by Ukrainian formations.

▪️Significant successes have been achieved in recent days in the Vodyane area, where Russian troops have taken control of areas north of the settlement, as well as in the vicinity of the Yuzhnodonbass Mine No. 1. Meanwhile, fighting is ongoing on the western outskirts of the eponymous facility No. 3.

▪️On the southern flank, there is evidence of the advance of the Russian Armed Forces north of Prechystivka: there, a Russian armored group advanced through the fields towards Novoukrainka, essentially without encountering significant resistance from the AFU. Footage was also published online showing the capture of members of Ukrainian formations in this area.

However, the subsequent assault on Novoukrainka may be complicated by the geographical features of the terrain - the settlement and its surroundings are located on high ground, which somewhat facilitates its defense against attackers from the lowlands.

🔻Against the backdrop of the recent advances of the Russian Armed Forces in the South Donetsk direction, the enemy is in a rather dismal position. After losing control of the buildings of the crushing and sorting departments of the Yuzhnodonbass Mines No. 1 and No. 3, Ukrainian formations have lost the ability to monitor the situation for dozens of kilometers around.

It seems that the Russian command has abandoned the frontal assault on the AFU positions in Vuhledar, which, although already heavily destroyed, remains a convenient defensive settlement. Instead, units are advancing in neighboring areas from the direction of Vodyane and Prechystivka, while simultaneously cutting off supply routes to the Ukrainian garrison in Vuhledar.

🇮🇱🇸🇾 For the second night in a row, the Israeli military has struck rural areas near Damascus. This time, the Israel Defense Forces targeted the small settlement of Beit Saber, located near the occupied Golan Heights.

An Israeli drone attacked one of the residential houses, resulting in the elimination of Ahmed Muhammad Fahd - one of the leaders of Hamas in southern the Syrian Arab Republic, who organized rocket attacks on IDF targets.

His wife was killed along with him, and another person was injured. Notably, the Israeli press service reported only the elimination of Fahd, who allegedly planned to carry out a new attack in the near future.

Also, around midnight, Israeli aviation intercepted a drone launched by pro-Iranian groups near the small town of Al-Quneitra. According to statements from the "Islamic Resistance in Iraq", the drone's target was some object in the Golan Heights.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Situation in Korenevo District
Situation as of the end of September 28, 2024

In Kursk Region, heavy clashes continue on several sections of the front.

🔻In Korenevo District, an enemy International MaxxPro armored vehicle was ambushed at the eastern entrance to Kremyanoye at an intersection. According to the published footage, a group of scouts hit the vehicle with four RPG-7 shots from both sides.

Hardly anyone inside the armored vehicle is likely to have survived such an attack. It is worth noting that this area was previously considered more of a rear area, and the presence of AFU units here was not expected. For now, in the absence of new footage "from the scene", it is not possible to clarify the current front line.

At the same time, the enemy maintains a stable control in Olhovka, from where they today published footage of their damaged BMP-1 and Ukrainian servicemen killed by a drone strike.

🔻In Sudzha District, meanwhile, clashes have been reported on the line Daryino Ivano-Daryino, where Russian forces are trying to establish stable control over both settlements. On the opposite flank, fighting is underway on the approaches to Plekhovo, with no significant changes so far.
