Russian forces have launched a surprise assault on Ukrainian positions in the Kursk region, utilizing a gas pipeline to infiltrate behind enemy lines. The operation, referred to as 'Operation Stream' or 'Operation Potok,' involved Russian troops traveling approximately 15 kilometers through the pipeline before emerging near Sudzha, a strategic town in the region. The assault targeted Ukrainian forces holding parts of Kursk, which were captured during a Ukrainian offensive in August 2024. Russian forces reportedly liberated the Sudzha industrial zone and recaptured several settlements, including Lebedevka, as part of a broader offensive aimed at encircling Ukrainian troops. The operation involved over 50,000 Russian troops, including North Korean units. The operation involved multiple Russian military units, including special forces, and was supported by artillery, drones, and missiles. Ukrainian forces responded with rocket and artillery strikes, claiming to have inflicted significant losses on Russian troops. Contradictory reports from both sides suggest varying levels of success in the operation, with Ukrainian forces reportedly taking heavy casualties and some troops captured as prisoners of war. The gas pipeline used in the assault, once a major conduit for Russian natural gas exports to Europe, was repurposed for the infiltration. The operation underscores the escalating intensity of the conflict as both sides continue to vie for control of the region.
