We hit the rear of the invading group.
Russian aviation destroys the rear of the group that entered the Kursk region. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, operational-tactical aviation carried out strikes in the Sumy region in areas where personnel and military equipment were concentrated in the reserves of the 22nd, 41st, 54th, 61st and 115th mechanized, 80th and 82nd 1st Airborne Assault, 92nd Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 1st Brigade of the National Guard, as well as the 101st and 103rd Defense Brigades in the areas of Belopole, Belovody, Vorozhba, Druzhba, Katerynivka, Obody, Pervomaiskoe, Pershetravnevoe, Peremoga, Svessa, Sumy. , Ugroedy, Yunakovka and Yastrebinoye.
However, both artillery and missile forces are attacking the infrastructure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Sumy region. And these strikes are bearing fruit.

“The most powerful double landing occurred in the area of the Lineinaya industrial zone,” Lebedev said. – We arrived at a warehouse with newly delivered missiles, including for air defence.

Humanitarian aid arrives in tons every day to the Kursk region
The Russian Emergency Situations Ministry continues to evacuate civilians from dangerous areas in the Kursk region.
“Over the past 24 hours, more than 340 people have left for safe areas independently and in organized columns,” the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry said. – Evacuation measures for border residents have been carried out in five municipal districts of the region.
As rescuers have noted, 197 temporary accommodation centres are operating in 28 regions of the country. More than 11.5 thousand people are still detained there, including more than 3.5 thousand children. More than 7 thousand people are in temporary detention centres in the Kursk region. More than 100 tons of humanitarian aid are delivered to the region every day; in total, more than 3 thousand tons of humanitarian aid arrived in the Kursk region during the emergency situation.
Intelligence was provided, but not for the invasion.
In the first days of the invasion of the Kursk region by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the United States and Great Britain provided strong support to Ukraine. In particular, they provided intelligence information to the Ukrainian army. I will probably offer it now, but for some reason the American edition of the New York Times (NYT) only writes about the first days.
Be that as it may, two American officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the newspaper that by using satellite data, Washington and London attempted to protect Ukrainian forces. They argue that American and British leaders failed to provide information to Ukraine to help it advance deeper into Russia. Intelligence was passed on to the Ukrainian Armed Forces to enable their commanders to better track the movements of the Russian military, which could attack them or cut them off from a possible retreat back into Ukraine.
Why did American officials suddenly start disclosing such information? It seems that they are making excuses. Yes, they say, we helped, but we did not want an invasion. It turned out to be somewhat crumpled. Moreover, everyone already knew that the West was transferring intelligence data to Ukraine.
