Russians in Kursk region complain about lack of shelters due to shelling

Complaints have flooded the social media of the acting governor of the Kursk region, Alexei Smirnov, following yesterday's massive shelling of Sudzha, allegedly by Ukrainian forces.

One resident's comment, cited by the BRIEF channel, read, "When will you set up shelters? How long will you torment people?"

Users have also insisted on the need for concrete shelters, noting the large number of people at bus stops.

In response, the Kursk region government stated that there are designated areas in the region where residents can seek refuge during attacks.

"Of course, there are shelters. All information about them has been published on official resources," said Yulia Abramova, head of the regional government's press office.

Meanwhile, the regional head announced that all emergency services in the Kursk region have been placed on heightened alert and that medical facilities are increasing their supplies of donor blood.

Russian media reports that there have been 9 air raid alerts in the Kursk region over the past 24 hours.

Following the shelling of Sudzha, Russians have reported alleged attempts by Ukrainian forces to break through early on the morning of August 6. On the same day, it was reported that around 90% of residents had evacuated from four settlements in the Sudzha district.

In response to the situation, Russia has redeployed reserves to the border area where Ukrainian forces were reportedly attempting a breakthrough.
