High-quality photos emerge of destroyed Russian convoy near Rylsk, with 490 ‘KIA’ counted — Butusov
Yuriy Butusov, chief editor of Censor.NET, published
high-quality photos of a destroyed Russian military convoy near Rylsk, with 490
“KIA” counted by the 116th Separate Mechanized Brigade’s Khorne Group.
On his Telegram
channel, Butusov reminded readers that the author of the video, which was the
first confirmation of the convoy’s destruction, was detained by FSB officers.
He also urged the “citizen journalist” who took the photos to exercise caution.
The destruction of the Russian convoy near Rylsk in Kursk Oblast
On Aug. 9, a video appeared online showing more than ten
burned-out Russian military vehicles, mostly trucks, along with the bodies of
soldiers. The video’s author claimed it was filmed in the village of
Oktyabrske.
Russian Z-bloggers also reported on the destroyed military
convoy, allegedly after a strike by Ukrainian Armed Forces.
OSINT analysts speculated that the strike location was about
30 kilometers from the border and 20 kilometers from the village of Koreneve —
the closest point where, according to Russian pro-war bloggers, fighting was
taking place.
Later, BBC Verify’s Russian service confirmed that the video
of the destroyed Russian convoy was filmed near the village of Oktyabrske,
close to Rylsk.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
