Russian military officials announced significant battlefield developments on Wednesday, reporting the capture of Komarovka, a strategically positioned town in Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region bordering Russia’s Kursk oblast. The operation was attributed to the Northern Troops Group, which described their tactical maneuvers as ‘active and decisive actions’ in an official statement disseminated via Telegram.
Concurrent with this territorial advance, Russia’s Defense Ministry released comprehensive casualty figures purportedly inflicted upon Ukrainian forces within a 24-hour timeframe. The data, segmented by operational theaters, indicates substantial personnel losses across multiple fronts: approximately 190 soldiers attributed to the Northern Group’s operations, with additional casualties reported by other military divisions—up to 440 by the Central Group, over 300 by the Eastern Group, nearly 200 by the Western Group, around 125 by the Southern Group, and more than 55 by the Dnieper Group.
The report further detailed extensive material losses allegedly suffered by Ukrainian troops, including the destruction of two main battle tanks, 26 armored combat vehicles, and 95 military transport vehicles. Ukrainian artillery capabilities were reportedly diminished by the loss of 11 pieces alongside one Czech-manufactured Vampire multiple rocket launcher system. Russian forces also claimed to have neutralized critical support infrastructure, encompassing five electronic warfare stations, one counter-battery radar station, one AN/TPQ-50 surveillance radar, and 14 ammunition and equipment storage facilities.
In a notable assertion of aerial defense superiority, the ministry stated that seven precision-guided aerial bombs, six U.S.-supplied HIMARS rockets, and 260 unmanned aerial vehicles were intercepted and destroyed during the same operational period.
