Kursk Oblast, Russia. During the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war, Ukrainian forces launched an incursion into Russia’s Kursk Oblast. Thousands of soldiers crossed the border, supported by tanks, drones, and armored vehicles. The Kursk incursion surprised both Russia and Ukraine’s allies. It was the most significant cross-border attack since the 2022 invasion and the first carried out primarily by regular Ukrainian forces. In five days, they penetrated more than 30 kilometers, reaching and occupying several cross-border towns, such as Sudzha.
