Russia has initiated a “counter-terrorism operation” in the Kursk, Bryansk, and Belgorod oblasts following a surprise incursion by Ukrainian forces into the Kursk region, according to state media outlet RIA Novosti. The incursion, which occurred days earlier, has led to ongoing fighting in the region, with Ukrainian forces reportedly making significant gains deeper into Russian territory. On August 9, Russia’s Defense Ministry confirmed that its troops were engaged in combat with the Ukrainian army on the outskirts of Sudzha, a town in Kursk Oblast. Ukraine Gets F-16 Fighter Jets for First Time: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Displays Newly Arrived Fighter Jets To Combat Russia in the Air (Watch Video).
