On August 6, local time, the Russian side claimed that the Ukrainian army attempted to enter Kursk Oblast, and the Russian Federal Security Service Border Guard and the Russian armed forces worked together to prevent the Ukrainian army from breaking in. According to information released by the Russian Ministry of Defense, about 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers participated in the operation and launched an attack on Kursk with the help of heavy equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles. In addition to ground operations, the Ukrainian army also carried out long-range artillery bombardment.

According to the Russian Ministry of Health on the 8th, the Ukrainian army's shelling of the Kursk region from August 6 to 8 has injured 66 people, including 9 children. According to the latest data from TASS, the attacks since the 6th have killed 5 people.

So far, the Ukrainian government has not made a clear response to the attack. This action is considered to be the first time since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict that the Ukrainian army has sent a large-scale ground force to attack Russian territory. In the past three days, there has been a lot of information about the battle in the Kursk region, but most of it is difficult to verify.
