Ukrainian drones strike Russian troops in Kursk, causing heavy losses in minefield incident

Ukrainian drones targeted a convoy of Russian troops in the Kursk region, resulting in significant losses for the 155th Naval Infantry Brigade. The soldiers, waving Soviet flags, were caught in a minefield set by the Ukrainian 47th Mechanized Brigade. This incident marks another setback for Russian forces amid ongoing counteroffensive efforts. Ukrainian troops have recently achieved victories against multiple assaults, further complicating Russia's military strategy.
