Russia’s Defence Ministry claims to have thwarted a Ukrainian attempt to advance into the Kursk region, using strikes from aviation, UAVs, and artillery. Russia reports halting a Ukrainian push near Martynovka, destroying two armored vehicles and killing fifteen personnel. The Ukrainian military has not yet commented, and the Guardian cannot confirm these claims. Meanwhile, Russia’s attacks on Pokrovsk in Ukraine’s Donetsk region have intensified, with 52 assaults reported in the past 24 hours. Ukraine's recent incursion, starting on August 6, has reportedly captured around 1,000 square kilometers of Russian land.
