Battles in Kursk region
Ukrainian forces launched an operation in the Kursk region nearly six months ago, in early August 2024. The Defense Forces managed to take control of about a hundred settlements; however, during Russian offensives and counterattacks, some territories were lost.
Nevertheless, battles in the Kursk region continue. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 13 combat clashes occurred in the Kursk direction over the past day.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy explained that the Kursk operation was a preemptive measure, as Russia was preparing an offensive on the Sumy region.
Russia has involved North Korean troops in combat operations in the Kursk region. Ukrainian forces have captured their first prisoners from North Korea.
