For the third consecutive day, intense fighting persists in Russia after approximately 1,000 Ukrainian troops launched a surprise attack by crossing the international border into the Kursk region. This incursion marks one of the largest assaults on Russia since the conflict began over two years ago.
In response to the breach, Moscow declared a state of emergency in the Kursk region, situated about 175 miles northeast of Kharkiv, Ukraine. Ukrainian forces managed to penetrate at least two lines of defense, as reported by open-source information.
