Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky admitted for the first time on the 10th that Ukrainian troops were conducting military operations in Kursk, a Russian border state bordering Ukraine.

Since the 6th, Kursk Oblast has been subjected to fierce ground attacks from Ukraine. The Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations announced on August 9 that Kursk Oblast has now entered a federal state of emergency and established a federal response mechanism in Kursk Oblast. On the 10th, the state government called on residents in high-risk areas to speed up evacuation, and more than 76,000 people were evacuated from Kursk Oblast to safe areas. The Russian federal government announced a series of measures on the same day to increase the security alert status of Kursk and other two border states. According to data released by the Russian Ministry of Health and Kursk Oblast officials on the 8th, the Ukrainian army's attack on Kursk Oblast has resulted in 4 deaths and 66 injuries.

On the same day, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the Russian Federation Armed Forces continued to repel the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk direction and launched strikes against the Ukrainian Army's reserve forces in Sumy Oblast, Ukraine. Russian Federation Security Council Deputy Chairman Medvedev stressed that the Ukrainian Army's offensive on Kursk will bring serious political and legal consequences.
