Pro-Moscow war bloggers and a senior Russian commander confirmed that Russian forces have initiated a significant counter-offensive against Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region, indicating a notable escalation in hostilities.
The fighting intensified as Ukrainian forces faced severe opposition, with reports of heavy clashes leading to the possible recapture of villages by Russian troops, further complicating the frontline dynamics.
The Institute for the Study of War cautioned against premature conclusions regarding the ongoing Russian counterattacks, asserting that the situation in the Kursk oblast remains fluid and uncertain.
Maj Gen Apti Alaudinov reported that Russian troops have successfully gone on the offensive, reclaiming around 10 settlements in Kursk, which underscores the shifting fortunes of the conflict.
