Kiev continues its attacks on Russia in the Ukraine war, advancing into Belgorod and the Kursk region. The situation escalates as Moscow declares a federal emergency and bolsters military presence in response to the unprecedented Ukrainian incursions.
The Russian Federation has declared a state of federal emergency in the Kursk region following significant Ukrainian military advances. This marks Ukraine's largest incursion into Russian territory since the war began in February 2022, prompting Moscow to deploy additional forces and resources.
As the conflict intensifies, the International Atomic Energy Agency has expressed concerns about potential nuclear risks due to military operations near the Kursk nuclear power plant. Meanwhile, Ukraine has ordered the evacuation of thousands of residents in regions under threat from Russian attacks.
