Russia's Ministry for Emergencies has declared a 'federal level' emergency in the Kursk region following a significant incursion by Ukrainian troops. The situation in Kursk remains challenging, with social services and civic associations providing aid to those displaced by the conflict.
Reports indicate that the surprise Ukrainian operation has led to evacuations of approximately 3,000 people in Kursk. The strategic objectives of the incursion remain unclear, as Ukrainian officials have refrained from commenting on the specifics of the attack.
