Overnight, Russian Telegram channels released a video filmed by a local driver, showing a large-scale fire in the Rylsk district of Kursk Oblast, where the village of Oktyabrskoye is located. It is likely that the crushed Russian military convoy shown in the video is the same one shown to be burning in the nighttime footage.

- Matthew Miller, spokesperson for the US Department of State, stated that the US did not receive any notification from Ukraine of any operation in Kursk Oblast. He added that "it’s not unusual for the Ukrainians not to notify us of their exact tactics before they execute them" and that the Ukrainians "do not violate our policy".
