The Russian Armed Forces liberated the town of Sudzha, as well as two villages in the Kursk region. This was announced on March 13 by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

"Units of the North group of forces have liberated the settlements of Melovoy, Podol and Sudzha during the offensive," the ministry's Telegram channel says.

As a result of the fighting in this area, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) lost more than 340 militants in a day, the Defense Ministry added.
