Russian military correspondents and Z-channels are reporting another attempted border breach in Russia's Kursk region. This time, Ukrainian forces allegedly entered the Belovsky district, south of Sudzha, according to Russian Telegram channels.

Reports suggest that a breakthrough of several dozen kilometers was made, with Ukrainian forces allegedly occupying the area around the village of Belaya. The atmosphere in Russia’s Belovsky district is described as extremely panicked, with residents demanding some form of guidance on evacuation.

Later, it was revealed that the acting governor of the Kursk region, Alexei Smirnov, instructed the head of the Belovsky district to expedite the execution of the operational headquarters' decision on evacuating residents.

Meanwhile, according to Russian war correspondents, the main group of purported Ukrainian forces in the Sudzha district has become more active, attempting to seize the initiative and resume their advance.

Russian war correspondent Yuriy Podolyaka reported that no one has yet confirmed reliable information about the new border breach in the Kursk region.

However, he noted that there have been confirmed reports of Ukrainian forces entering Makhnovka, suggesting that Russia could lose control of Sudzha by the end of the day on August 11.

Podolyaka also mentioned information indicating that soldiers had been seen in the village of Hyry. He emphasized that this wasn't a case of small sabotage groups but rather infantry equipped with heavy military equipment. If true, this suggests that Ukrainian forces are making a deep encirclement of Russian troops in Sudzha and preparing a base for further movements south and east.

Amid reports of an alleged invasion in the Belovsky district of the Kursk region, there have been online claims of fighting in the Krasnoyaruzhsky district of the Belgorod region. However, some other channels have denied this information.

During the night of August 10-11, there were reports of explosions heard in Kursk and Kurchatov. Local authorities stated that air defense systems were active.
