Ukraine Expands Offensive in Kursk Amid Russian Claims of Victory in Kurakhove
Ukrainian forces intensify their campaign into southern Russia while Russia announces control of a significant town in Eastern Ukraine.
Ukrainian military forces have renewed their offensive in the Kursk region, five months after the initial assault that saw them cross the border into southern Russia. Reports indicate that fighting intensified over the weekend, with military analysts noting attempts to breach Russian defenses in multiple directions. This marks the first major Ukrainian advance in Kursk since August, during which time Russian military regained control over much of the territory previously lost.
In a contradictory development, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on Monday their forces have captured Kurakhove, a strategically significant industrial town in the Donbas region. Despite the claims, Ukrainian military sources on the ground suggested that while fighting persists in some factories, the town itself has fallen largely into Russian hands. A local military official pointed out that they could not confirm the complete loss but acknowledged that resistance was minimal now.
The Kremlin's statement praised the Russian troops for their efforts, as the conflict continues to evolve with significant implications for both sides in this ongoing war.
