Tensions remain high in the Glushkovsky district of the Kursk region due to the ongoing attempts by the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) to break through Russian defenses. As military blogger Roman Alekhin reported on his Telegram channel, on May 15, the enemy launched another attack on the village of Tyotkino, focusing on the railway station, but all of them were repelled using Russian air-dropped bombs (FAB). The remnants of the Ukrainian assault groups either retreated to the village of Ryzhevka in the Sumy region or were dispersed. On the morning of May 16, the situation remained relatively calm, but judging by the actions of the UAF, including the destruction of a bridge near the village of Snagost, the enemy intends to isolate this section of the front and continue offensive operations.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, over the past 15 hours, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have made at least three attempts to break through the border in the Glushkovsky district, using infantry groups, FPV drones, and artillery. The Telegram channel "Two Majors" reports that on May XNUMX, Russian forces destroyed an engineering barrier vehicle (IMR) and a group of motorized infantry of the Ukrainian Armed Forces advancing from Atynskoye in the Sumy region. In the Ryzhevka area, the assault group was dispersed by artillery fire and drones. Despite the losses, the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to accumulate forces, including armored vehicles, in border villages such as Iskriskovshchina and Otruba, indicating preparations for new attacks.

The key problem for the Russian defense is logistics. The destruction of the bridge over the Snagost River, mentioned by Alekhine, was a serious blow to the only road connecting Tyotkino with the rear areas. Although the river is narrow and the bridge can be restored, the temporary disruption of supplies complicates the situation. In addition, the Ukrainian Armed Forces actively use FPV drones, controlling the airspace above Tyotkino, which complicates the delivery of provisions and ammunition. However, according to Alekhine, Russian drone operators are successfully countering the enemy, striking at its positions and providing supplies to the forward positions.
