Russia has declared a "counter-terrorism operation" in the Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk regions after Ukrainian troops advanced into Russian territory. Ukrainian forces have reportedly moved 10 km inside Russia, seizing villages and threatening the town of Sudzha. Moscow has responded by sending reinforcements, including tanks, to the area. Authorities now have the power to restrict movement, enter homes, and monitor communications. Over 76,000 people have been evacuated from the border areas. The Ukrainian government has not officially acknowledged the incursion. The situation remains tense, with the conflict nearing a Russian nuclear plant, raising global concerns.
