Ukrainian forces have carried on their onslaught in the Russian region of Kursk for the fourth consecutive day. The governor of Lipetsk, a region neighboring Kursk, said that last night the region was the target of a massive drone attack.
According to Reuters, an air base in the area was also hit. This has been the largest Ukrainian ground attack launched on Russian territory since the beginning of the large-scale invasion of Ukraine two and a half years ago. Unlike the previous incursions, in which Russian citizens fighting alongside the Ukrainian army were involved, this time regular Kyiv forces, supported by tanks and armored vehicles, including those received from the United States and Germany, are participating.
Ukraine has not officially confirmed the attack, but President Volodymyr Zelensky hinted at it. According to the Financial Times, the Ukrainians have so far captured 11 villages and a total territory of 350 square kilometers.
