Fighting in the Kursk region
Active hostilities in the Kursk region began last week.
In the early days, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that reserves had been sent there to strengthen the defense of the Kursk region.
At the same time, the ATESH partisan movement reported that Russia has begun sending troops to the Kursk region who were originally intended to reinforce the Pokrovsk direction
Despite this, Ukrainian defenders currently control 82 settlements in the region.
