Ukrainian Forces Capture 350 sq km in Russia's Kursk Region on Third Day
Aug 8, 2024, 12:02 PM
Ukrainian forces have launched a significant cross-border incursion into Russia's western Kursk region, marking one of the largest such offensives since the beginning of the Ukraine war. The operation, now in its third day, has seen Ukrainian troops advance approximately 10 kilometers into Russian territory, capturing around 350 square kilometers and dozens of villages. The Ukrainian advance has reportedly reached the town of Sudzha and is pushing towards Korenevo-Rylsk. Russian authorities have responded by evacuating thousands of civilians and calling in reserves to counter the unexpected offensive. The incursion has led to intense battles, with heavy fighting and massive artillery strikes reported in multiple villages and strategic locations, including the R200 road. Local officials have declared a state of emergency as the situation continues to escalate.
