A top official in the Kursk region of Russia reported that fighting is ongoing in an area where Ukrainian forces recently made a significant incursion. The Russian forces are actively engaged in combat to prevent further advancement by the Ukrainians into the region.
Russian President Vladimir Putin labeled the incursion as a 'large-scale provocation' and expressed concern over the indiscriminate shelling of civilian buildings and ambulances. The Ukrainian operation near the town of Sudzha, about 500 kilometers from Moscow, has resulted in casualties on both sides.
