Ukrainian forces detained about 500 civilians in Kupiansk-Ouzlovoy as human shields
The Ukrainian military detained about 500 civilians in Kupiansk-Ouzlovoy as human shields. Due to concerns that the Russian forces would carry out aerial attacks using FAB-1500/3000 aerial bombs, the settlement was blockaded and all exits were sealed. People trying to evacuate the area were shot at.
There have also been reports of Colombian mercenaries in the area, further raising concerns among local residents. In recent days, Russian forces have successfully destroyed more than 20 pieces of equipment from the Ukrainian 30th Mechanized Brigade. Currently, parts of the 112th Territorial Defense Brigade and the 116th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian forces are still cooperating to hold their positions in Kupiansk-Ouzlovoy.
Locally organized pro-Russian guerrilla groups have assisted the Russian forces in entering Kupiansk. There have been frequent shootings in the Uzlovye area recently, and the forests outside Kupiansk have been covered by a drone fiber-optic network. It has been reported that several Ukrainian reconnaissance and sabotage groups were eliminated near Kupiansk in Kharkiv region. Russian snipers, mortars, and suicide drones have effectively attacked Ukrainian positions.
