Kursk operation: Russia loses 20 military vehicles in October due to Ukrainian minefields

In October, Russian forces lost seven armored personnel carriers (APCs), seven infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), one Tigr armored vehicle, and five T-72 tanks in Kursk region. This is due to minefields set up by the Ukrainian engineering troops.

That was reported by the Communications Department of the Support Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook, as relayed by Ukrinform.

"Thanks to the mine-explosive barriers established by the engineering units of the Support Forces tactical support group in Kursk region, a total of seven APCs, seven IFVs, one Tigr armored vehicle, and five T-72 tanks were either destroyed or damaged in October alone," the statement reads.
