Regarding the Gornal direction in Kursk Oblast.

Heavy fighting continues for the last remaining Ukrainian positions in this section of Kursk Oblast. Russian forces are attacking the main Ukrainian strongholds, but Ukrainian forces are putting up stiff resistance.

Russian forces from the 177th Naval Infantry Regiment are launching their main attacks towards the forests north of Gornal where Ukrainian forces are mounting a defence. There are two forests here - Russian forces control part of the eastern one, while Ukrainian forces maintain control over the western one. Ukrainian drones are the main obstacle for advancing Russian troops and result in repelled assaults. These strong positions protect the northern flank of Gornal, creating a buffer zone and forcing Russia to attack the village head-on from the northeast.

Ukrainian formations are still holding out in the forests north of the Gornal Monastery. Russian forces - after recapturing the monastery - are attacking the Ukrainian positions there from the territory of the monastery and the adjacent forests.

Battles continue for the outskirts of Gornal. Russian soldiers are attempting to advance through the open area between the monastery and the village but are being picked off by Ukrainian drones due to a lack of cover. However, as they are utilising the Psel River to protect their eastern flank, Ukrainian forces are unable to counterattack and as a result, have not been.

Additionally, Russian forces from the 1427th regiment are attacking the remaining Ukrainian positions in the forests south of Guevo, which are effectively cut off due to the position of the Psel River.

As a result of recent gains, Russian drones are flying more freely over the nearby town of Myropillya, which is located in the low-lying ground in Sumy Oblast, as seen in the video. Ukraine is bringing in new reinforcements, including armoured vehicles, to Myropillya, which will undoubtably cause more casualties among their forces.
