🎯 Ukrainian Strike in Kursk Oblast Eliminates Two Russian Lieutenant Colonels
💥 On December 30, a Ukrainian missile strike in Russia’s Kursk Oblast killed eight Russian servicemen, including two lieutenant colonels from the 76th Pskov Air Assault Division, Militarnyi reports.
📍 The officers were identified as Lieutenant Colonel Valery Tereshchenko, involved in the war since October 2022, and Lieutenant Colonel Pavel Maletsky, commander of the 656th Engineering Battalion. The attack targeted a command post near Lgov, reflecting Ukraine’s strategy of degrading Russian leadership structures.
🔍 Ukrainian forces have repeatedly targeted Russian command posts, causing significant losses among high-ranking officers. This strike follows another in the same region, where seven Russian servicemen were reportedly killed in a separate operation against the 810th Marine Brigade.
💡 These strikes demonstrate Ukraine’s focus on neutralizing Russia’s command capabilities, disrupting battlefield coordination and forcing the Kremlin to contend with sustained attrition among its leadership ranks.
