Russia Ukraine war : Air strike by Russia just now

Ukraine will “receive a worthy response”

Putin affirms that Ukraine will “receive a worthy response” regarding Kursk assault.

It’s clear that the enemy will continue attempting to undermine the security at the border in an effort to undermine the political climate within our nation,” Putin stated. With the border service, Russia’s primary goal is “to ensure dependable cover of the state border and to squeeze out, drive the enemy out of our territories.”

Putin was informed by acting Kursk governor Alexei Smirnov that Ukrainian soldiers had crossed a 40-kilometer (25-mile) front to advance 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) into the Kursk region, taking control of 28 Russian villages at the time.

According to Smirnov, the operation has resulted in the deaths of 12 civilians and the injuries of 121 others, including 10 children. Approximately 121,000 people have either left the conflict-affected areas on their own or have been evacuated.

Tracking down all the Ukrainian units that are roaming the region and creating diversions is difficult, Smirnov said, noting that some are using fake Russian IDs.

The governor of the Belgorod region adjacent to Kursk also announced the evacuation of people from a district near the Ukrainian border.

Ukrainian forces swiftly rolled into the town of Sudzha about 10 kilometers (6 miles) over the border after launching the attack. They reportedly still hold the western part of the town, which is the site of an important natural gas station.

Additionally, this is the first time pro-Ukrainian Russian fighters have not led an incursion instead of the Ukrainian army. Putin’s attempts to pretend that life in Russia has been mostly unaffected by the war were severely undermined by the advance.

The goal of state propaganda was to divert attention from the military’s lack of preparation and prompt response to the attack by downplaying it and highlighting the efforts of the government to assist the local population.

Locals in Kursk made recordings complaining about having to leave the border region.
