Russian reconnaissance drone watches in shock how Ukrainian armoured column managed to, largely undisturbed, cross massive minefields and fortification lines into Russian villages of Demidovka and Popovka in Belgorod oblast'. Ukrainian forces lost several mine clearing vehicles but once the path was cleared Ukrainian infantry started to soak into the area maintaining continued presence on the Russian territory. Many of these vehicles are the same as were earlier withdrawn from Kursk oblast', located around 30 km north.
