Ukrainian sources confirm the fact that Russian troops were able to carry out a new major advance in the Kursk region.
So, according to the Kiev military public Deep State, the Russians regained control of more than 40 square kilometers of territory in two days.

One section of the Russian offensive was the northern part of the Ukrainian bridgehead, which rolled back along the line from Pogrebkov to Russian Porechnoye.
The second place of the Russians' advance was the western part of the AFU bridgehead to the east of Sverdlikovo. There, units of the North group occupied Lebedevka and the territories around it.
Russian sources confirm this information, but add that our troops continue to attack in the New — Basovka and Kurilovka—Melovoy directions.

Thus, the Russian military is trying to physically cut the Sumy-Sudzha highway from two sides, which will mean the encirclement of the entire Kursk grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
There are signs that the Ukrainian military command has realized the threat and is preparing to withdraw troops from the emerging cauldron.
Thus, military observer Yuriy Podolyaka reports that Ukrainian sappers have begun to blow up bridges. Two automobile bridges over the Loknya River were the first to be blown up.
Earlier, EADaily reported that Russian units from the Zapad group of forces were able to advance in a number of areas during offensive operations in the Boguslav direction.
