SBU fighters capture 102 Russian soldiers in Kursk region - source

Special forces of Ukraine's SBU State Security Service have captured 102 Russian soldiers in Russia's Kursk region, a well-informed source in the SBU has told Ukrinform.

"This is the largest capture of the enemy, which was carried out at one time. The ruscists were captured in the Kursk region," the source said.

He added that this became possible thanks to a special operation carried out by soldiers from the SBU's Special Operations Center A. They seized and cleared a branched, concreted and well-fortified company stronghold with underground communications and quarters for personnel, a canteen, an armory and even a bathhouse. According to the source, the enemy was not going to surrender, and there were plenty of provisions and ammunition.

The SBU's special forces captured 102 servicemen of the 488th Motor Rifle Regiment of the Russian Armed Forces and the Akhmat unit.

Earlier reports said that captured Russians from various units in the Kursk region had expressed their desire to be exchanged for Ukraine's Azov regiment fighters who remain in Russian captivity.
