For the second time in a year, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attempted to land on the Tendra Spit, southwest of the Kinburn Peninsula. This in an isolated place: only a lighthouse, where a small group of Russian marines sits and monitors the air and sea space. Considering that the previous operation was planned by the HUR, there is reason to believe that this one was planned in exactly the same way. And its result was the same.

Since midnight, the Armed Forces of Ukraine began reconnaissance of the landing site, using a Bayraktar TB2 drone from the vicinity of Ochakiv. To distract the attention of the Tendra lighthouse garrison, an unmanned boat was launched - one of the garrison's tasks is to observe enemy cruise missiles, UAV flights, and naval drones.

At about three o'clock in the morning, twelve boats with Ukrainian troops moved toward the spit, intending to land. As a result of a short battle, the first three boats were destroyed - they were washed ashore. The remaining nine turned around and moved in the opposite direction.

The enemy's losses during another failed landing are estimated at up to 20 people. As for the lighthouse garrison, five marines got off with minor injuries received during the skirmish.

What happened once again proves a simple truth: the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not give up on the attempts to occupy individual points in the Kherson region. At the same time, there is no long-term strategy: the main goal is to capture some point despite losing people. And how will the people be supplied there and how will they defend themselves from Russian forces is secondary. The media component is all that matters."

"The situation in the Russian borderland as of 13:00 /Moscow time/ August 6, 2024

This morning, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attempted an offensive in the Kursk region - at the moment, the main events are unfolding in the Sudzha and Korenevo districts. The information about the enemy's attempt to break through was confirmed by the acting head of the region, Alexey Smirnov.

At night, the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck across the Kursk region, launching at least 26 drones. Most of the strikes were in Sudzha, where five civilians were injured, including three children. Footage of severe damage to residential buildings is
available on the Internet.

Later, Ukrainian formations launched attacks in several areas. In the Korenevo district, the enemy began moving from Vladymirivka in the direction of Gordeevka. In the Sudzha district, the enemy's offensive is developing from the Sudzha checkpoint and the Hlyboke Tract.

The main direction of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is aimed at Goncharovka and Kurilovka. According to incoming information, the enemy managed to wedge himself along the 38K-004 highway, where at least three Ukrainian tanks and a group of infantry were spotted near the Sudzha checkpoint. Several armored vehicles were already destroyed.

Another direction of the enemy's attacks was the Nikolaevo-Darino - Sverdlikovo line: according to preliminary information, fighting is taking place on the outskirts of the settlements. In this area, Ukrainian armored vehicles with a new tactical identification mark in the form of a
triangle were also spotted.

In the Ukrainian media, what is happening is presented from diametrically opposed positions: while some call the offensive an information and psychological operation organized by the Russian authorities, others, in their usual manner, exaggerate the successes, talking about the beginning of the fighting almost in Sudzha itself.

Against the backdrop of Ukrainian attacks, several Russian media outlets reported that at night and early in the morning, Russian drone operators noticed a concentration of enemy forces along the border, but due to bureaucratic red tape and fear of making a decision, no one gave the order to inflict fire damage.

Nevertheless, the Ukrainian offensive in the Kursk region is nothing new - another PR campaign, following the example of last year's attacks in the border areas. And the goals of such actions are obvious: distracting the attention of their own population from failures in other parts of the front, as well as an attempt to stretch the forces of the "North" group of the Russian Armed Forces, forcing them to redeploy units from Vovchansk and Hlyboke.

All previous attempts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to enter the border areas of the Belgorod and Kursk regions have always ended with significant losses and their retreat. And although the outcome of the enemy's new attempt is not in doubt, the threat of new Ukrainian offensives will continue to support the need to create a "sanitary zone" around the Russian border."
