Ukrainian troops destroyed a Russian command and observation post in the area between Viktorovka and Uspenovka in Russia's Kursk Oblast, Ukraine’s General Staff reported on March 26.
The commander of the 1st Battalion of the 9th Motor Rifle Regiment was killed in the strike, according to the statement.
The Kyiv Independent could not verify these claims.
Kyiv launched a limited incursion into Russia's Kursk Oblast on Aug. 6, first capturing about 1,300 square kilometers (500 square miles) of Russian territory. While Ukraine has reportedly lost around half of that territory since then, fighting continues in the region.
These attacks are part of Ukraine's broader strategy to weaken Russian operational capabilities by targeting key command centers.
The General Staff has emphasized that such strikes aim to reduce Russia's offensive potential.

We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.
Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
