Russian forces appear to be pushing back Ukrainian troops in the Kiev-controlled part of Russia's Kursk province, according to videos circulating online, RT reports.
A pro-Russian Telegram channel released clips on September 11 showing the achievements of the 51st Guards Regiment of the Russian Airborne Forces near the settlement of Snagost.
Kiev has deployed thousands of heavily armed troops for a cross-border offensive into Russian territory. According to the Russian military, Ukrainian casualties have exceeded 10,000 in the offensive that has lasted since August 6.
The 2 minute 20 second video, filmed from a drone, shows a battle in a rural area involving several armored vehicles.
Another video shows a group of Ukrainian prisoners of war walking down a street. Some are holding their hands behind their heads while others support a wounded comrade.
The Russian Ministry of National Defense mentioned Snagost as a site of frequent fighting against Ukrainian troops. It is located about 7km southeast of the Seim River, a notable landmark that helps pinpoint the location in the video.
The Ukrainian military targeted bridges over the Seim River further west, apparently to make it easier to defend territory under its control from Russian ground attacks.
The Russian Ministry of National Defense said that in the past 24 hours, air defense systems shot down 6 US-made ATACMS tactical missiles, 9 French-made Hammer guided bombs, 2 US-made HIMARS missiles and 57 Ukrainian drones.
The Russian Ministry of National Defense released a video of another Ukrainian tank destroyed in the border area of Kursk province.
Units of the Eastern Army improved their tactical positions and defeated the formations of the 72nd Mechanized Brigade and the 118th Land Defense Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of the Dobrovolye and Novodonetskoye settlements of the Donetsk People's Republic.
Units of the Dnieper Wing defeated the manpower and equipment of the 31st Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the 36th Marine Brigade and the 39th Coastal Defense Brigade in the settlements of Malaya Tokmachka, Zaporizhzhia province, Sadovoe and Tyaginka in Kherson.
