On the Semy region, Russian forces are fighting in Yunkovka, gradually expanding their controlled areas, and advancing in the Valachino area. Ukrainian forces continue to attack towards Kondratovka.
On July 16, Russian military journalist Dmitry Kulko reported that the soldiers of the 56th Guards Airborne Assault Regiment (56-го гвардейского десантно-штурмового полка) captured the village of Bezsalivka in Sumy Oblast, Ukraine.
The 56th Guards Airborne Assault Regiment released a video explaining the process of capturing the village of Bezsalivka in Sumy Oblast, saying that after capturing this place, it eased the pressure on Tetkino to the west.
The paratroopers of the 56th Guards Airborne Assault Regiment recounted the process of liberating the village of Besalovka in Sumy Oblast. The operation was meticulously prepared beforehand. Paratroopers conducted reconnaissance with drones, thoroughly mastering the Ukrainian Armed Forces' (ВСУ) defense system, identifying the positions of strongpoints, and determining the distribution of firing points before the operation began.
The assault team approached the village "in gray light" («по-серому»), taking advantage of the dim light before dawn, to stealthily approach the village. They launched a swift assault into the Ukrainian positions, annihilated the defenders, occupied the settlement, and established defenses in its southern suburbs. The Ukrainian forces attempted to counterattack with the support of drones and artillery, but the paratroopers repelled all attacks.
"We had been at the target point for half an hour when the first wave of counterattacks came from the Ukrainians," said the leader of the assault group, known as "Papai," "but they failed. The operation was completed cleanly and efficiently. We were only four people, holding the position for two weeks until we were relieved. The whole team remained intact, with no casualties."
Occupying Besalovka allowed the 56th Guards Airborne Assault Regiment to expand the buffer zone in Sumy Oblast to the west, thereby alleviating the pressure on the enemy's Tetkino in Kursk Oblast. From there, it is possible to launch an offensive towards the central area of the region—a key Ukrainian logistics hub of Belopole with a population of six thousand.
