 Russian's retreat in Kursan, they mine the critical infrastructure. The Russian occupying forces are planting explosives near stationary gas control points, electrical substations and critical infrastructure in the temporarily occupied part of Kursan Oblast informs the defence intelligence of Ukraine. The report noted that these actions indicate Russian forces' likely intention to destroy critical infrastructure when they are forced to retreat. It is worth noting that a year ago, Russian forces during their retreat from Kursan attempted to maximise damage to power lines, other elements of transportation and critical infrastructure in the region. Earlier, ISW analysts reported that Ukrainian forces had made some progress and pushed the occupiers to the left bank of the Nipro River in the Kursan region. It was mentioned that the armed forces of Ukraine had landed on the left bank of the Kursan region. In commenting on the situation on the left bank, Natalia Humenyuk, the head of the United Coordinating Press Centre of Security and Defence Forces of the South of Ukraine, stated that there were positive results in counter-battery warfare and other methods. The military expert Vladislav Zelensnov, in a conversation with RBC Ukraine, identified three bridgeheads for the armed forces of Ukraine on the left bank of the Kursan region.
