The Ukrainian Armed Forces, reportedly with the guidance of US advisors, launched a series of attacks on Russian territory, targeting the Kursk region with U.S.-donated ATACMS ballistic missiles. Reports indicate that between 5 to 10 missiles were fired, with some sources specifying that at least five missiles were launched. The missiles were aimed at Russian and North Korean military targets, leading to explosions and air defense systems being actively engaged in the region. Local residents reported hearing explosions, and there were claims of ATACMS missiles hitting the area. The regional governor confirmed an assault involving Ukrainian UAVs, although other sources suggested the use of ATACMS ballistic missiles or Storm Shadow cruise missiles. Additionally, there were reports of Storm Shadow missiles flying over the Kursk region, and a video purportedly showing a missile strike in Krasnodar, Russia.
