Russian special forces walked kilometers (miles) inside of a gas pipeline to strike Ukrainian units from the rear in the Kursk region, Ukraine’s military and Russian war bloggers reported, as Moscow moves to recapture parts of its border province...
...months after Ukraine’s thunder run, its soldiers in Kursk are weary and bloodied by relentless assaults of more than 50,000 troops, including some from Russia's ally North Korea. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers run the risk of being encircled, open source maps of the battlefield show.
According to Telegram posts by a Ukrainian-born, pro-Kremlin blogger, Russian operatives walked about 15 kilometers (9 miles) inside the pipeline, which Moscow had until recently used to send gas to Europe. Some Russian troops had spent several days in the pipe before striking Ukrainian units from the rear near the town of Sudzha, blogger Yuri Podolyaka claimed.
The town had some 5,000 residents before the February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and houses major gas transfer and measuring stations along the pipeline, once a major outlet for Russian natural gas exports through Ukrainian territory.
Another war blogger, who uses the alias Two Majors, said fierce fighting was underway for Sudzha, and that Russian forces managed to enter the town through a gas pipeline. Russian Telegram channels showed photos of what they said were special forces operatives, wearing gas masks and moving along what looked like the inside of a large pipe.

Impossible. I read on here that russia has already lost.
A good one time trick.
Unbelievable! The Russians used their only weapons, their shovels, to dig their way behind the Ukrainian lines where they attacked them with spoons!
Less creepy than the exploding pagers.
Yes, I wonder if AP has confused an Alternate Dimension with ours?
To be fair, they were Tactical Spoons.
Ukes were being Spooned by Russians?

Ukraine has a lot of FPV drones...
so why hasn’t there been any video of these alleged NK troops?
newsmax and Fox only seem to publish war propaganda.
We need OANN back on TV!
You guys (FReepers) have to finesse your reading and note if the author is the Biased Disinformation Spammer of The Associated Presstitutes and Rooters Sewer Service OR a more reasonable Newsmax staff writer (same for Fox), and adjust accordingly.
Cleared that right up.
I’m questioning whether or not Nk’s are even there because no evidence has been posted..I agree that newsmax and Fox are less bad than networks,AP,Rooters etal.Newsmax better than fox but both tow the globalist line for war reporting.I miss OANN
#MAGA
US’s ( and EU’s) eight year long Project Ukraine against Russia has failed, it is dead thanks to President Trump.
Did you think the “exploding pagers” offensive was creepy?
Because I don’t.
I thought the pager attacks on Hamas were an astonishingly brilliant gambit. It was precisely targeted. There was no collateral damage (that I heard of)
I think it was one of the most sophisticated, brilliantly conceived and executed attacks on an an enemy I have ever heard of in history.
I am not rooting for the Russians, but I have to admit, that is a pretty creative ploy, deploying their forces by walking them inside a pipeline.
While it is a line of the propagandists, I sure wouldn't want to get hit by one being swung at me.
Just wait until the Chinese start doing it to us.
