The 82nd Air Assault Brigade successfully repelled a Russian mechanized assault near the village of Lyubymivka in the Kursk region. At coordinates 00:05 - 51.306121,35.003804 and 00:30 - 51.307659,35.018978, Ukrainian forces destroyed Russian BMD-2 infantry fighting vehicles advancing toward their positions, while also targeting a Russian defensive shelter. Some reports suggest that the first BMD-2 was destroyed by a Javelin anti-tank guided missile, though the video claims it was hit by an anti-tank mine. The operation marked a significant defensive success in halting the Russian assault.
