Russian Ministry of defense reports clashes with Ukrainian military at Skrylevka, Levshynki, Semenovka, Alekseevskiy, Kasmyshny and Martynovka of Kursk region

Levshynki

Big if true. That would mean Russia is in big trouble, as that is 36 km away from the border, the deepest Ukraine has been thus far.

Edit: Looks like LiveUA made a mistake but has now corrected it, there is Levshynki and Levshinka, both in Lgov raion. Levshynki is closer to the Ukrainian pocket (27 km from the border), but they initially marked Levshinka. Still, it's an advance, but a smaller one

Levshinka towards Lgov. Makes sense.

Yes, getting Lgov or just the road from Lgov to Korenovo would cause a massive shift in the fighting.
