Since August 11, the Russian military has continued to put pressure on Kiev forces in Kupyansk and Donetsk, disrupting their operational effectiveness in all other directions.

In the Kupyansk direction, the Russian Zapad Group of Forces captured two strongholds, five observation posts and defeated an infantry platoon near Olshana.

The group also repelled five separate counterattacks by the Ukrainian 47th and 67th Mechanized Brigades near Sinkovka and Mankovka. Kiev forces lost an infantry platoon while trying to retake their lost positions.

Near Novoselovskoe, the 32nd Separate Mechanized Brigade (Ukraine) launched an attack on Russian military positions. However, the attacks were repulsed and the entire infantry platoon was neutralized by artillery fire from the Zapad Group of Forces.

The Group's artillery also destroyed a Polish-made Krad self-propelled howitzer near Petropavlovka and an ammunition depot on Mankovka Street. In addition, two vehicles were destroyed near Podila by a Lancet drone.

In addition, Ka-52 and Mi-25 helicopters as well as Su-25 attack aircraft of the Group carried out 11 airstrikes targeting the concentration points of the 25th Airborne Brigade, the 14th Separate Mechanized Brigade of Ukraine and defense units near P. Sinkovka, Kislovka and Novoselovskoe.

Meanwhile, in the direction of Donetsk, Su-34 fighter-bombers of the Yug Group of Forces (Russia) attacked with guided bombs the temporary deployment points of the 54th Mechanized Brigade near Serebryanka and the 28th Mechanized Brigade near Ivanovsky. Several airstrikes also hit the ammunition depot of the 5th Separate Assault Brigade in Dyleyevka.

Su-25 attack aircraft of the Group also attacked the concentration points of Kiev forces near the Lisichansky, Soledaro-Artemovsky, Avdeevsky and Maryinsky directions.

Additionally, a missile strike targeted several temporary deployment points of the 80th Air Assault Brigade near Kramatorsk. A strike with a Tornado-S heavy missile launcher also destroyed a training camp of foreign mercenaries in Nikolaevka.

In addition, the Group destroyed a Polish-made Krab self-propelled gun and a US-made M-777 towed howitzer near Minkovka as well as a radar station in Kramatorsk using a Lancet drone.

Artillery of the Yug Group of Forces also targeted and destroyed four pickup trucks near Spirne and a military truck near Grigorovka.

Russian news sources have also shared videos showing recent FPV suicide drone attacks on Ukrainian troops and anti-tank missiles targeting a German-made Leopard 2 tank and an M109 self-propelled gun.

Facing setbacks across the front, Kiev forces continued to launch attacks on Russian territory. Late on August 11, two Ukrainian suicide drones were shot down over the Kursk region.

Earlier on the morning of August 11, a Ukrainian drone attack targeted the capital Moscow. The Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement that a single drone was suppressed by electronic warfare means and crashed in the western part of the capital Moscow. According to the ministry, the attack caused no damage.
