Ukraine has launched its largest cross-border attack into Russia's Kursk region since Moscow's invasion began in February 2022. Ukrainian forces have reportedly made significant territorial gains, including capturing a gas facility in Kursk. In retaliation, Russia has conducted airstrikes and used a thermobaric bomb, known for its devastating impact. The Russian government has declared a "counter-terrorism operation," evacuating up to 76,000 residents from Kursk. Meanwhile, Belarus has reported intercepting objects from Ukraine. The attack represents a major escalation in the conflict, with Ukraine's objectives and further plans still unclear.
