“The command post was deployed at the Nezhegol recreation center (belongs to Belgorod State University), near the settlement.
The Command Post controlled the units that are taking part in the offensive operation in Volchansk, Kharkiv region.
At the moment, eight army officers are considered missing.
Also, it is worth noting that the Nezhegol recreation center appeared on the “target lists” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which intelligence warned the 6th Army about at least a week before the strike. However, no countermeasures were taken.”
Ukraine appears to have destroyed another major Russian air defense system - this time an S-300 in Belgorod Oblast, Russia. This comes just days after the US granted Ukraine limited permission to strike Russian territory with US-supplied weapons, although it's unclear exactly what weapon was used to do this.
Ukraine has lost control of multiple villages near the border with Russia as they begin a renewed offensive in the region that Ukraine almost completely liberated in late 2022.
The lost villages include: Strilecha, Krasne, Pylne, and Borysivka.
It's worth noting that these losses are not unexpected and Ukraine has been monitoring for a possible Russian offensive from Belgorod Oblast into Kharkiv Oblast for some time. Defenses are not prepared directly at the border, but several kilometers behind it.
