4/ North OD. The Northern Operational Direction (OD) remains the principal support zone for both Russian and t Ukrainian forces. Activity remains centered on cross border artillery strikes along key lines of communication to disrupt reconstitution & training efforts. #Sumy

👀 Strike by #Iskander on the mock-up of the #Iris-#T launcher in the #Sumy region.

Northern Strategic Direction: The ZSU will continue prioritizing offensive action in the Kursk Oblast to wrestle the strategic initiative away from the VSRF. Operational-Tactical Group (OTU) Sumy(?) will shift its focus on the defense of the Sudzhalodgment while advancing towards Glushkovo. OUV Kursk will likely attempt to create a cauldron center on the 38K-4 (R200) Highway to force the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from the Sudzhalodgment. VSRF and ZSU forces will likely continue positional engagements in the Kharkiv region. Belarus will likely not reduce its troop presence in the Gomel and Breast Oblasts. The ZSU will almost certainly keep substantial forces deployed throughout northern Ukraine to deter incursions or false flag actions launched from Belarus. #Sumy #Belarus #Kyiv

Operational Direction Kursk: Over the next 7-10 days, Operational-Tactical Group (OTU) Sumy(?) will very likely reinforce efforts by the 255th Assault Battalion to assault the 155th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade from the west while elements of the 21st Mechanized Brigade assault through Veseloe towards Glushkovo. Elements of the 80th Air Assault Brigade likely supported by elements of the 61st Mechanized Brigade will continue efforts to advance north along the 38K-24 highway towards Lgov. The SVRF will likely employ a greater portion of the 106th Guards Airborne Division to contain the ZSU advance between Sergeevka and Novyi Put while attempting to seize Liubimovka. With Borkiunder Russian control, the SVRF will expand its bridgehead over the Psel River towards Plekhovo. #Kursk #kurskbattle #Sumy
