The Russian personnel in the Kursk region were targeted by M30 version GMLRS rockets, which contain a mix of several hundred anti-armor and anti-personnel bomblets. We present their capabilities and discuss the effects of the attack.

Since the new push in Russia’s Kursk Oblast in early January, Ukraine has made small gains and managed to capture the first North Korean prisoners of war in the area but experts have raised concerns about Kyiv’s use of limited resources while fierce battles rage elsewhere.

Ukraine’s continued focus on Kursk shows how important Kyiv believes it is to hold on to Russian land, especially if Trump pushes both sides to the negotiating table.
