Ukraine's force have been getting decimated near the border city of Sudzha, the Russian Defense Ministry has reported

The Russian Defense Ministry has shared a video purporting to show a recent drone strike on a group of Ukrainian soldiers near the city of Sudzha in Russia's Kursk Region. The clip comes as Kiev's troops have been suffering heavy losses in the area.

Ukraine originally launched the incursion into the Russian border region last August claiming the move would have military and potential value. While Kiev's troops initially managed to secure a number of settlements, Moscow soon reported that the advance of the Ukrainian military had been halted and that enemy forces in the region were suffering significant casualties.

Over the past few days, the Russian Defense Ministry has shared a number of videos purporting to show drone strikes on Ukraine's troops in Kursk. In one clip, shared on Monday, a large group of what are said to be Kiev's soldiers can be seen trying to take shelter in a building in the border city of Sudzha. Several moments later, the building is destroyed in a massive explosion caused by a Russian drone.

In a regular update posted on its official Telegram channel on the same day, the ministry claimed that Russian forces have launched a number of successful operations and have eliminated several Ukrainian brigades, liberating a number of settlements as Kiev's forces keep getting pushed out of Kursk.

According to the ministry, over the past 24 hours, Kiev has lost more than 340 servicemen, two tanks, seven infantry fighting vehicles, including US-made Bradleys, five armored personnel carriers and dozens of other vehicles and equipment

In total, throughout the fighting in Kursk, Moscow has claimed that Ukraine has lost more than 66,270 troops, nearly 400 tanks, several thousand combat vehicles, hundreds of artillery pieces, and dozens of rocket launchers, including US-supplied HIMARS and MLRS systems.
