A Russian army headquarters in the region’s Marino region was hit in a “high-precision strike” launched by Ukrainian forces, the general staff of national defense in Kyiv announced earlier today, stressing that all necessary measures were taken to avoid civilian casualties.
For their part, the regional authorities in Kursk reported that the community of Ivanovske was attacked, where, among other things, a “cultural center” was hit. Regional governor Alexander Hinstein spoke of limited material damage. However, videos released via Telegram show significant damage to buildings in an area where military vehicles can be seen.

Ukrainian forces captured part of Russia’s Kursk region in a surprise cross-border attack last August. In an attempt to stop the Russian counteroffensive, the Ukrainian army has in recent weeks struck several communities in Kursk where military reinforcements are being sent from Moscow.
HIMARS missile systems supplied to Ukraine from the US have often been used in these operations. In November, a Russian command post in Marino was also hit by British Storm Shadow missiles.
