16th August 2024
Ukraine attacks Russian Communications in Rylsk, Kursk Oblast. The Russian Ministry of Digital Development announced today that local Rostelecom branch workers were attacked (most likely by drone) while working to restore communications. 1 Communications specialist was killed and 1 wounded. Most likely area of this attack was at a Radio Tower just south of the town located at 51.5462, 34.67896. Local Rostelecom branch building is at 51.568023,34.686104. The continued attacks on this tower and local repair crews is keeping the whole western flank of the Kursk Offensive in a dead zone. Most importantly for Russian Forces Rylsk is Guarding the Rear of Korenevo if Rylsk is captured by Ukraine the main road out of Korenevo is cut off. Another significant item about Rylsk. This town is the extreme flank for the Russian defense on the E-38 Highway and the extreme end of the Russian supply chain going back to Kursk. I have pointed out for several days this town is an likely objective and it is likely Ukraine is pushing towards Rylsk. The capture of Rylsk also gives Ukraine a second LOA on the critical rail junction in town of Lgov. Being able to advance on from the West and South.
