SSO fighters captured a village in Kursk region.

Fighters from the 6th Special Forces Regiment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine captured a settlement in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation, reported the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

«This was preceded by the work of our artillery. Later, our troops entered the village and reclaimed it as part of a special operation,» the statement said.

Besides the Russian military, the settlement was also held by North Korean troops.

In the city of Lgov, Russian troops landed, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine repelled them in the village of Kruglénkoye, which is located in the Kursk region.

Former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (2014-2019) General Viktor Muzhenko stated that if Ukrainian troops leave the Kursk region, Russian troops will be able to continue their aggressive actions on the territory of Ukraine with greater capabilities.

The U.S. Department of Defense claims that the involvement of North Korean troops in the Kursk region against the Armed Forces of Ukraine is not effective.
