Local residents continue to flee the city of Sudzhi and other border settlements in the Kursk region as the area faces intense shelling from Ukrainian Armed Forces. The situation has escalated since August 6, leading to the evacuation of thousands and resulting in casualties. Evacuated residents are seeking temporary accommodations in Kursk, while many are left without basic necessities or clear plans for their future.
The Ukrainian offensive has reportedly led to significant territorial gains in the Kursk region, with Ukrainian troops advancing into Russian territory and capturing several villages. The Kremlin has declared a state of emergency, citing the ongoing conflict as a terrorist act against Russia. Reports indicate that the situation remains volatile, with both sides experiencing casualties and escalating tensions.
As the conflict intensifies, both Ukrainian and Russian authorities are taking measures to protect civilians and critical infrastructure. Evacuations are being conducted on both sides of the border, with thousands affected by the ongoing fighting. The international community is closely monitoring the developments, as the situation continues to evolve.
