[00:00:29] News on the Zvezda TV channel in the studio with Maria Semyonova.
[00:00:32] Hello, the main
[00:00:34] topic.
[00:00:36] Militants were hiding underground and refused to surrender. It was not
[00:00:40] easy for the Vostok fighters to take Zornitsa in Zaporozhye. There, the
[00:00:43] Ukrainian Armed Forces dug a complex network of tunnels. We entered the
[00:00:47] dugout, the first room was large, turning
[00:00:50] left, there was another room, there was a third.
[00:00:54] Robots help fighters check and clear the railway.
[00:00:57] The enemy continues attacks on infrastructure in the special military operation zone and
[00:01:01] frontline regions. Victoria Kasoglyadinka went on a
[00:01:05] mission with military
[00:01:06] railway workers.
[00:01:11] Now we are going to the railway section that the
[00:01:14] enemy attacked, and the easiest and fastest way to get there
[00:01:18] is with this mobile
[00:01:21] team. 300 civilians from the Kursk
[00:01:24] region are still listed as missing - said
[00:01:28] ombudsman Yana Lantratova. She said that new
[00:01:32] exchanges are being prepared, when
[00:01:34] they bombed houses and drove people into basements, residents of Konstantinovka
[00:01:38] spoke about the atrocities of
[00:01:40] the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
[00:01:42] In the city, Ukrainians burn, simply
[00:01:46] burn houses, they have
[00:01:49] nothing sacred.
[00:01:50] Russian troops attacked with
[00:01:56] drones in the water area. Eyewitnesses also report strong
[00:02:08] explosions in Nikolaev and Kherson.
[00:02:12] In the Dnepropetrovsk region, a gas station that
[00:02:15] fueled military equipment was destroyed, as well as the
[00:02:19] Bogdanovskaya electric substation, which ensured the movement of trains to supply
[00:02:22] the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In addition, our drones attacked the warehouses and
[00:02:26] production facilities of the Zaporozhye consumer plant.
[00:02:33] The enemy dug a network of underground passages in Zornitsa, Zaporozhye region, the liberation
[00:02:37] of which became known the day before. Attack aircraft from the
[00:02:41] East entered the settlement gradually in pairs at a decent distance
[00:02:44] from each other and constantly looking under their feet. There were many mines and
[00:02:47] booby traps on the approaches. The details of the difficult assault, where
[00:02:51] the enemy had to be pulled out from under the ground in the literal sense,
[00:02:54] are known to Pavel Koltsov.
[00:02:57] Heavy artillery of the Vostok group of forces is plowing. plantations in
[00:03:00] the vicinity of the village of Zornitsa, massive artillery preparation is a sure
[00:03:03] sign of an imminent assault, the enemy was waiting for the assault aircraft to roll, when they
[00:03:07] were already in the settlement. The fighters of the 5th
[00:03:10] tank brigade infiltrated Zornitsa for several days, in small groups
[00:03:14] through mine barriers. They went in groups, and
[00:03:17] separated in pairs and
[00:03:21] kept very large distances.
[00:03:25] And well, as if if you go, then
[00:03:28] you need to look at the approach. listen to the sky carefully, mainly
[00:03:32] booby traps put grenades,
[00:03:35] and TMKs, well, everything that
[00:03:39] can be put on a booby trap, everything
[00:03:41] is put. The fighter with such a call sign was one of the first to infiltrate, conducted
[00:03:45] reconnaissance for several days, dug there and
[00:03:49] observed the enemy there, where his UAV points are, where
[00:03:52] mortars are, where the
[00:03:55] enemy himself is located, where he walks, where he goes, he observed
[00:03:58] all this, looked, yes...
[00:04:30] There was a fortification, that is, there was another room turning left,
[00:04:33] behind it there was a third
[00:04:37] room, there were also foxholes there, that
[00:04:40] is, passages dug in the wall, holes, so
[00:04:44] they hid there until the last minute, that's why we couldn't
[00:04:47] get them out of there with grenades or mines, similar
[00:04:50] fortifications were far from everyone, those whom the Ukrainian commanders
[00:04:54] sent to slaughter simply into the trenches, poultry farmers,
[00:04:57] and artillerymen were sitting in this dugout.
[00:05:01] Therefore, they resisted until the last, everything was very well
[00:05:04] equipped there, this was not simple infantry
[00:05:07] sitting there, simple infantrymen sit in ordinary ones, there
[00:05:11] are two or three people, and it's
[00:05:14] quickly possible to take them, they usually also sometimes
[00:05:18] surrender, surrendering was the best solution, the retreating were met by
[00:05:21] FPV drone operators in the eastern group, they burned
[00:05:24] cars and armored vehicles on the move, they are catching up with the enemy tank,
[00:05:28] now at the forefront, a target of a rare kind, much more
[00:05:31] quad bikes, they are also being caught up, but there is a chance
[00:05:34] to evacuate, during the liberation fifty heavy enemy
[00:05:38] hexacopters were destroyed, with everything that
[00:05:41] is called dirty was not... Over Zornitsa, enemy attack drones
[00:05:44] and reconnaissance drones worked,
[00:05:48] one of the Kamikaze drones was shot down by our guys with small
[00:05:52] arms, but they took it with them as
[00:05:55] a souvenir of the liberation of another settlement.
[00:05:58] The village of Zornitsa, located on a hill, was an important
[00:06:01] section of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' defense in the Zaporozhye region, where the units of the
[00:06:05] Vostok group are dynamically advancing in the western direction, expanding
[00:06:09] the bridgehead along the Verkhnyaya Tersa River, strengthening the isolation. of the key
[00:06:13] fortified area of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the city of Orekhov. Pavel Koltsov, Zvezda TV channel,
[00:06:16] Zaporozhye direction of the special military operation.
[00:06:20] And here are the shots we just received, the pilots of the plane that
[00:06:24] went missing 2 days ago in the Irkutsk region were found
[00:06:28] alive. They were monitoring the fire-hazardous situation in the region, when
[00:06:31] they stopped communicating,
[00:06:34] it turned out that the pilot and observer were able to
[00:06:38] land the aircraft in the taiga. After
[00:06:41] that, they went up the hill, assembled
[00:06:44] the radio station and transmitted the exact coordinates
[00:06:47] to a passing aircraft. The crashed plane is almost
[00:06:50] undamaged, the pilots have already been evacuated to
[00:06:54] Bodaibo airport. The main versions of the accident are technical
[00:06:57] malfunction, violation of piloting rules, and an emergency
[00:07:01] landing of the aircraft as a result of deviation from
[00:07:04] the flight route. These are the first shots
[00:07:08] you just saw. We continue, the Russian
[00:07:13] military evacuated another group of civilians from the liberated
[00:07:16] Konstantinovka, they lived in the suburbs and independently walked part
[00:07:20] of the way to our soldiers, according to the evacuees, they sat
[00:07:24] for 2 months in the basement of a burned house, which was purposefully
[00:07:28] burned by Ukrainian drones. A small building
[00:07:31] was attacked by at least 15 drones, but the people
[00:07:34] survived, but their neighbors were less
[00:07:38] lucky. In
[00:07:42] the city, Ukrainians are burning,
[00:07:46] just burning houses,
[00:07:48] they just throw these drones,
[00:07:51] houses are destroyed, houses are burning,
[00:07:54] it's not even that they attack houses, they attack civilians,
[00:07:57] one of us wanted to put out a neighbor's house, he was torn
[00:08:00] to pieces by a drone,
[00:08:03] women stood under a tree, they are no
[00:08:07] longer standing, three died,
[00:08:09] nothing. they have
[00:08:13] nothing sacred. Our military
[00:08:16] evacuated civilians to rear areas, where they were accommodated, received first
[00:08:19] aid, and were also fed. The evacuees immediately
[00:08:22] applied for a Russian passport.
[00:08:25] The fate of 300 civilians
[00:08:27] remains unknown 2 years after the Ukrainian Armed Forces'
[00:08:31] invasion of the Kursk region. This was stated by the Commissioner for Human
[00:08:34] Rights in Russia, Yana Lantratova. Everything is being
[00:08:38] done now to find
[00:08:40] them. In total, 2,176
[00:08:43] residents went missing, most of them were
[00:08:46] found and returned home, the fate of about
[00:08:49] 300 people remains unknown, the search,
[00:08:53] of course, yields results, so there is hope for
[00:08:56] their return, for each person, of course, we will work until
[00:08:59] their fate is determined.
[00:09:02] The attack on the Kursk region began on August 6,
[00:09:06] 2024. The main blow fell in the direction of the city of
[00:09:09] Sudzha, it came under Ukrainian control, but the adventure. To the Supreme
[00:09:34] Commander-in-Chief about the liberation of the Kursk region.
[00:09:37] A special role in this was played by the now legendary Operation
[00:09:41] Stream. Russian servicemen infiltrated Sudzha
[00:09:44] through a gas pipeline, passed underground for 15
[00:09:48] km and defeated the enemy. In Operation Stream,
[00:09:51] fighters of the volunteer formation,
[00:09:54] veterans of the 11th Airborne Assault Brigade,
[00:09:58] the 30th Motorized Rifle Regiment and the Akhmat Special Forces
[00:10:01] detachment took part. Servicemen of the
[00:10:05] DPRK also took part in the liberation of the Kursk region, whose feat
[00:10:08] will always be remembered and honored in Russia. After the Ukrainian.
[00:10:55] who participated in the invasion. The total losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces amounted to more than
[00:10:59] 76,000 servicemen killed and
[00:11:02] wounded. Now the Kursk region is recovering,
[00:11:05] destroyed houses are being rebuilt. I will add that Yana
[00:11:08] Lantratova also announced a new prisoner exchange today, but
[00:11:12] specific dates have not yet
[00:11:13] been announced.
[00:11:18] The crew of the corvette Gremyashchiy launched a Kalibr strike
[00:11:21] against a simulated enemy. Combat firing is taking place in the Avach water area.
[00:11:55] defense firing took place in a complex jamming environment, but at
[00:11:58] the estimated time the rocket successfully hit
[00:12:01] the target.
[00:12:05] Assistant to the President, Chairman of the Marine Board Nikolai Patrushev arrived in Rio
[00:12:08] de Janeiro, where he inspected the fleet arsenal. This is the main naval
[00:12:12] shipbuilding and ship repair complex of the Brazilian Navy.
[00:12:16] There, surface and submarines are designed, built, and serviced for the Brazilian fleet and the fleets of
[00:12:20] friendly countries. A tour was also conducted for the Russian
[00:12:23] delegation.
[00:12:30] in the Museum of the Brazilian Navy. The list of victims of the American
[00:12:32] atomic
[00:12:35] bombing of Hiroshima has been replenished with another 4393 names. Now it
[00:12:39] exceeds 353,000
[00:12:41] people. This register is updated annually by the Japanese authorities when
[00:12:45] someone dies among the Japanese who survived the atomic
[00:12:48] bombings. But who is to blame for the attack, neither the Mayor of
[00:12:52] Hiroshima nor the UN Secretary-General mentioned it in their
[00:12:55] addresses today on the anniversary. The US
[00:12:58] remains the first and only country to use nuclear
[00:13:02] weapons. The States still haven't apologized for the
[00:13:05] tragedy. The strikes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
[00:13:08] pursued political goals, to demonstrate the might of
[00:13:12] Washington and intimidate the whole
[00:13:14] world.
[00:13:20] Robots help clear mines and inspect railways in the special military operation zone
[00:13:23] and frontline areas.
[00:14:26] Army troops cover the entire railway network of the border area,
[00:14:30] before driving on the rails, they must first fly over them and feel them,
[00:14:34] this is done by controlled drones and
[00:14:37] robots, only when the section is fully surveyed and demined, we
[00:14:40] are shown closer the consequences of the terrorist attack on the railway. On
[00:14:44] this section of the railway, there was recently an arrival, you see
[00:14:48] broken wires, several
[00:14:51] drones were shot down here, which severely damaged the contact
[00:14:55] line. now it needs to be replaced, sappers are currently
[00:14:59] examining the rails and everything around them. We
[00:15:02] fix the target, capture occurs, the drone flies away
[00:15:06] and hits the target with a direct hit. The Kyiv
[00:15:09] regime takes revenge on the regions that became part of Russia, it spoils
[00:15:13] the infrastructure, armored trains help with cargo
[00:15:16] delivery, they don't burn in fire, they push through, on
[00:15:19] the platforms anti-aircraft guns and machine gunners hold a circular
[00:15:23] defense in fours, back to back. Shaman and his squad are the most
[00:15:27] effective in shooting down drones, Shaman has three hands and
[00:15:30] a feather behind his shoulder, and I have a tank Kalashnikov machine gun and
[00:15:33] an AK-12 on the armor, this is only for the last
[00:15:37] week, usually they are painted over immediately, these haven't been yet, railway
[00:15:41] workers now have a lot of work
[00:15:45] in the entrusted territories. Viktoria Renko, Pavel Krasikov and Natalia
