Senior Russian military officers were killed in an attack by Ukrainian forces at a field command post in Kursk.

Mikhail Gudkov, the deputy commander of the Russian Navy, Hero of Russia, Hero of the Krasnoyarsk Krai, Major General of the Guards, and former commander of the 155th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade, was killed in the village of Korniyevо in Kursk Oblast. Along with Gudkov, 10 senior officers were also killed, including his deputy, chiefs of staff from various branches of the military, and the newly appointed commander of the 155th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade.

Russian media reported that the field command post where Gudkov and others were located was attacked by four artillery shells, destroying the command post and resulting in the deaths of all those present. As to how the Ukrainian forces knew about the location of the Russian command post, there are different reports in Russian media. Some suggest it was due to a radio leak, while others claim that Ukrainian forces had planted an informant near the command post.

Well, the absurdity of the Slavic region is truly inherited. Just as the Russian forces had just wiped out the headquarters of the Ukrainian 110th Mechanized Brigade, the Ukrainians immediately retaliated, wiping out the Russian field command post in Kursk, causing even greater losses to the Russians. These two incidents indicate that both sides still suffer from a serious sense of complacency and have not learned from their mistakes. The establishment of command posts is very casual; they neither consider reinforcing them nor making them semi-subterranean or underground, let alone considering mobility. Therefore, the repeated bombing of command posts is well-deserved.
