Ukraine captures over 100 Russian, Chechen soldiers in a day in Kursk Oblast
As part of Ukraine's cross-border incursion into neighboring #Kursk Oblast, special forces from the SBU carried out an operation on a #Russian military base on Aug. 14 that resulted in the largest single capture of Russian troops so far in the war, according to the source.
The prisoners of war (POWs) belong to the 144th Guards Motor Rifle Division and the #Akhmat unit, a #Chechen group of forces that fights for Russia, the source said.
The source in the #SBU described the base in Kursk Oblast as a "sprawling, concrete, and well-fortified company stronghold," which had facilities including personnel quarters, a canteen, and an armory.
