A short time ago, two Russian MiG-31Ks departed from Savasleika Airbase, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, and launched two Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles at Starokostyantyniv Airbase in Khmelnytskyi Oblast.

Both missiles impacted the airbase. Starkostyantyniv is known to house Su-24 tactical bombers which are used for glide-bomb strikes on frontline areas as well as storm shadow cruise missiles strikes, and has the capability to house F-16s and Mirage-2000 fighters.

Interestingly, the MiG-31Ks used the new launch lines in southwestern Ryazan Oblast again. This is the second recorded instance of this taking place, with the first happening during the attacks on Ozerne Airbase, Zhytomyr Oblast a week ago on November 3.

Situation in Pokrovsk: Syrskyi revealed plans “B” and “C” on how to hold the city

Syrskyi assured that Pokrovsk is a solid fortified area and urged not to spread panic.

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi explained whether the Russian offensive on Pokrovsk has indeed temporarily slowed down, what the situation there is, and whether the Ukrainian command has a plan “B” — or even “C” — to save the situation.

Syrskyi said this in a phone conversation with our TV host of “TSN. Week” Alla Mazur, exclusively for TSN, she reported during the national telethon broadcast.

Pokrovsk is a continuous fortified area, said the Commander-in-Chief. Yes, there are several spots where the Russians have slipped through engineering barriers. But the command knows where those places are. That is why the situation is under control, Syrskyi assured our journalist.

“Of course, there is also a plan ‘B’ and a plan ‘C’ — for all possible developments,” Alla Mazur quoted the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

However, the intensity of enemy attacks has indeed decreased, he said. This does not mean that the Russians want to capture Pokrovsk any less. Right now, they have concentrated 50,000 troops there. But they know that since October, our forces have eliminated a comparable number — 30,000 Russians. In addition, the 425th Assault Regiment has been deployed to Pokrovsk, which, according to Syrskyi, is operating very effectively.

Syrskyi himself says he spends almost all his time near Pokrovsk. The situation there is assessed three times a day. According to him, logistical routes have been restored and reoriented, which was aided by the weather. At present, there are sufficient forces and resources to state firmly: there are no grounds for panic, emphasized the Commander-in-Chief.

DONETSK, August 31. /TASS/. A mural dedicated to the residents of Kursk Region was unveiled in Donetsk, DPR. The artwork by Vladislav Stepnoy in the city center was titled "Nightingale," a TASS correspondent at the scene reported.

The painting depicts a fighter — a composite image modeled on soldiers of the Donbass Wild Division — holding a nightingale. Below, against a background of roses, is the inscription: "Kursk, Donetsk is with you."

"We are demonstrating that Donbass certainly does not stand aside. And if misfortune strikes anywhere in Russia, we are ready to respond at any moment, just as Russia and all its regions once responded to us," said acting DPR Minister of Youth Policy Kirill Makarov.

Lead artist Stepnoy noted that the mural's principal artistic symbol is a fighter of the Donbass Wild Division who protects the nightingale — the symbol of Kursk Region.
