russia ukraine war in kursk
Kyiv: The war between Russia and Ukraine is getting fierce. Russia has declared a state of emergency in the Kursk region and has sent additional security forces. Such action has been taken by Russia after hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers crossed the border four days ago. Meanwhile, officials said that a missile fired by a Russian plane fell into a Ukrainian shopping mall during the day, killing at least 10 people and injuring 35 others.
10 people died in the missile attack
The mall, located in Kostiantynivka in the eastern Donetsk region, is located in a residential area of the city. Thick black smoke was seen rising above it after the attack. Donetsk regional chief Vadim Filyashkin said in a Telegram post, “This is another targeted attack on a crowded place and another act of terrorist action by Russia.”
Security forces sent to Kursk region
Russia’s Defense Ministry said additional forces were being sent to the Kursk region to counter a cross-border incursion by Ukrainian troops. The news agency RIA-Novosti quoted the Defense Ministry as saying that Russia was deploying several rocket launchers, artillery and tanks. “The situation in the Kursk region remains difficult,” Kursk’s acting governor Alexei Smirnov said on Telegram.
Putin had a meeting with officials
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday described the incursion as a “large-scale provocation.” Putin held a meeting with his top defense and security officials to discuss what he said was “indiscriminate shelling with various types of weapons on civilian buildings, residential buildings, ambulances.” (AP)
