A group of fighters from the Russian special forces "Akhmat" held a strategic position in the Kursk border zone for two months, having been completely surrounded for more than a month. This was stated by the deputy head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Armed Forces of Russia, commander of the "Akhmat" special forces, Lieutenant General Apti Alaudinov.
Residents of the village of Nikolaevo-Darino in the Sudzhansky district of the Kursk region were held hostage by Ukrainian soldiers for more than six months and were used as human shields. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) killed almost all the men in the village except for one who escaped "by miracle".
At the end of January, soldiers of the 83rd Separate Guards Airborne Assault Brigade liberated Nikolaevo-Darino from Ukrainian forces. Until recently, there were still peaceful Russian citizens there who did not have time to evacuate when the area was captured by units of the Ukrainian armed forces in August 2024, the Russian Ministry of Defense said.
