Ukrainian Special Forces Capture Russian Marines in Kursk Oblast

In the Kursk oblast, Special Operations Forces (SOF) managed to capture Russian soldiers from a marine brigade.

The Command of the Special Operations Forces stated that several dozen Russians from the 810th Marine Brigade were captured.

“Soldiers of the Special Operations Forces inflicted significant losses in manpower on the enemy during special operations in the Kursk sector,” the Command of the Special Operations Forces added.

This Russian brigade has been involved in the war against Ukrainians since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

This brigade also took an active part in the occupation of Crimea in February-March 2014.

During this time, the Russian 810th Marine Brigade suffered significant losses in combat and from missile strikes.

In early November, the Russian army resumed attempts at mechanized attacks in the Kursk oblast.

The offensive is carried out, in particular, by the forces of the 810th Marine Brigade of the Russian Navy.

On November 7, fighting continued in the main Ukrainian advance in the Kursk oblast southeast of Korenevo, near Novoivanivka, as well as near Daryno and south of Sudzha, near Plekhovo.

However, the front line has not changed significantly. In turn, the Russian so-called “military reporters” call the front line in the Kursk oblast “inactive.”

Meanwhile, the commander of one of the Ukrainian Armed Forces brigades said that the Russian military has much less armored vehicles and artillery in the Kursk oblast than elsewhere on the front line. Especially in the Donetsk region.

Recently, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine operating as part of the Siversk Joint Task Force successfully repelled a mechanized assault by Russian troops in the Kursk oblast.
