RBC Ukraine reported on November 24 that the Ukrainian military had carried out an attack on a Russian S-400 air defense missile system deployed in Russia's Kursk region.

Kursk Governor Alexei Smirnov said on November 24 that two Ukrainian missiles and 27 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were shot down in Kursk. Also related to this area, early on November 24, Reuters quoted a senior Ukrainian military source as saying that Kyiv was losing ground in Kursk, as 40% of the areas that Ukraine controlled at the time of the incursion in August have now been recaptured by Russia.
“At one point we controlled more than 1,300 square kilometers, but now we control about 800 square kilometers,” the Ukrainian source said, adding that the Russian military has deployed nearly 60,000 soldiers to Kursk over the past three months.

On the eastern front in Ukraine, a source from the Ukrainian General Staff said the city of Kurakhove is facing a major threat, with Russian troops advancing about 300 meters every day and having penetrated several areas.
In another development, The Wall Street Journal reported on November 23 that after attacking Russia's Bryansk province with long-range ATACMS missiles supplied by the US, the Ukrainian army may continue to use ATACMS to target Rostov province, southern Russia. The article said that one of the largest gathering points that Ukraine is capable of attacking is Rostov province, which has at least four airports, including civilian airports. Russia is said to use transport planes to transport troops gathered there, from there to the Ukrainian front line. It is not yet clear whether the US has issued regulations on which areas Kyiv cannot use ATACMS to attack.

Ukraine studies new Russian missile
Ukrainian officials said on November 24 that they were studying debris from a medium-range ballistic missile that Russia claimed to have used against the Ukrainian city of Dnipro on November 21.

Moscow announced that it had launched a medium-range missile called Oreshnik into Ukraine, targeting the defense industrial facility in Dnipro, emphasizing that this was a response to the US and UK allowing Ukraine to use long-range missiles to attack Russian territory.
Two Kyiv experts only mentioned that this type of weapon flew along the trajectory of a ballistic missile and caused civilian damage. One of them, an investigator from the Ukrainian security service, said that this was the first time that fragments of this missile had been found on Ukrainian territory.

Also related to the Oreshnik missile launch, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the research and development process of this weapon is not widely publicized. "I am sure that none of us at the moment knows about the plans for the future development of weapons," Mr. Peskov told reporters.
In another interview on November 24, Dmitry Peskov stressed that the Oreshnik missile attack was a “warning bell” for the West, stating that the US had ignored Russia’s warnings by allowing Ukraine to use long-range weapons, according to TASS.
Rumors spread that Russia dismissed a general operating in Ukraine
Rumors spread that Russia dismissed a general operating in Ukraine
Russian media and pro-Moscow bloggers reported on November 24 that Russia had dismissed a senior commander operating in the Ukraine battlefield for providing false reports on war developments.
Russian media, citing unnamed sources, said that Colonel General Gennady Anashkin, commander of the forces of Russia's southern military district, has been dismissed. Moscow has yet to officially confirm this.
Russia has been seen to have made rapid progress since the outbreak of hostilities in recent months. However, progress has been seen to have slowed in some areas, including around the city of Siversk in Donetsk province. Russian war bloggers have said Moscow’s troops there are ill-equipped and have been fighting at a high cost but with few gains.
RBC Ukraine also reported that Russian war correspondents said that Anashkin had concealed the real situation of his combat unit from his superiors. In November, several videos circulated on social media showing heavy losses of Russian vehicles deployed to attack Siversk.
