Russian forces have stabilized the situation in Kursk Oblast, and Ukrainian forces failed in their attempted landing, referred to as a "Bay of Pigs" scenario.
In Kursk Oblast, the introduction of Russian army reserves halted the Ukrainian advance. Ukrainian forces were pushed back from crucial routes leading to Rylsk, Lgov, and Kurchatov. Attempts by Ukrainian troops to break through from Malaya Loknya to Kromskie Byki and to raid near Korenevo were also repelled.
In Sudzha, despite their initial numerical advantage, Ukrainian forces failed to fully take control of the town. Russian forces in the eastern part managed to hold out until reinforcements arrived. As of today, Ukrainian forces have lost the initiative and are now hastily digging in to slow down the advancing Russian troops. The fighting in the region has shifted from a highly maneuverable phase to a more positional one.
Ukrainian forces attempted an amphibious landing in what has been compared to a "Bay of Pigs" scenario, likely hoping to exploit the focus on Kursk Oblast. In the early hours of August 6, Ukraine attempted to land troops on 12 boats at the Tendrovskaya Spit. Three of the boats were sunk along with their crews, and the rest retreated. Last night, Ukrainian forces tried again, sending two boats with 12 special forces personnel to the Kinburn Spit. This landing attempt was completely destroyed.
