Quote: "While Chief of the Russian General Staff Gerasimov reports on the 'liberation' of Kursk Oblast from Ukraine's security and defence forces, operators of the 73rd Centre of the Special Operations Forces continue to successfully complete missions in this region.

Just yesterday, a group from the 73rd SOF Centre eliminated an entire enemy group during special actions in Kursk Oblast... The mission continues!"

Details: It is reported that during the special operation, SOF fighters also forced two Russian soldiers to surrender. One of the prisoners of war was evacuated to safety on a stretcher, while the other hobbled along on his own.
