Iran Press/ Europe: Vyacheslav Gladkov, the governor of Belgorod, stated that continuous shelling has created a "difficult situation," resulting in civilian casualties and the destruction of several homes.
The escalation in hostilities has heightened tensions in the region.
Meanwhile, Russia claims to have destroyed over 100 Ukrainian drones and four missiles in the past 24 hours, highlighting the ongoing military confrontation.
Eight days ago, Ukrainian forces launched a surprise operation, entering the Kursk region in Russia. The exact objective of this operation remains unclear. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky indicated that this area could have been a launching point for Russian attacks on Ukraine.
Last Tuesday, Ukrainian forces entered the Kursk region of Russia in the first incursion since Moscow's military invasion in 2022, claiming to have occupied dozens of towns and villages over an area reportedly spanning 1,000 square kilometers, according to Kyiv.
This operation is not only the largest incursion by a foreign army into Russian territory since World War II but also remains shrouded in mystery, with Ukrainian officials yet to clarify its precise goals.
Last night, Alexander Syrsky, commander of the Ukrainian Army's ground forces, reported new advances by Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region during a video call with President Zelensky, indicating further progress in their military operations.
