The Ministry of Defense of Russia reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces allegedly entered the border with the Kursk region.
The Russian Telegram channel Baza reported about loud explosions and a fire in the Rylsky district of the Kursk region of the Russian Federation on Friday, August 9.
“Local residents report four explosions and publish photos of a fire in the village of Stepanovka,” the message said.
The public added that the causes of the explosions are unknown, as it is not known what is burning.
“There is no official information yet,” Baza added in a message at 00.53.
At the same time, they wrote online that it could be a Russian military convoy with burning equipment.
As reported, on Tuesday the Russians announced an attempt by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to cross the border in the Kursk region. In Russian social networks they wrote about the “extraordinary border victory” of the Kursk region as a fait accompli. Public pro-government pages also report border skirmishes and attacks by UAVs and artillery. Eyewitnesses also captured on video Su-25s flying over the region, and a fuel tanker burning in the middle of the road.
Representatives of the Main Intelligence Directorate did not comment on the situation in detail, but assured that it was “in no way related to the RDK.” Subsequently, the Ministry of Defense of Russia announced that the reserves of the group of Russian troops moved to the state border with Ukraine in the Kursk region. They also noted that Ukrainian troops in the amount of up to 300 people using 11 tanks and more than 20 armored vehicles attacked Russian units near the state border in the Kursk region.
It was later reported that the Russians had lost a helicopter and two tanks in the Kursk region. There is also information about the recruitment of Russian military personnel.
