Recent reports indicate a significant escalation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with Ukrainian forces and two Ukraine-based armed groups, self-identified as Russians opposed to the Kremlin, launching incursions into Russia's Belgorod and Kursk regions. These groups, identified as the Freedom of Russia Legion, the Russian Volunteer Corps, and the Siberian Battalion, have reportedly engaged in heavy fighting in the border areas. According to various sources, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted to penetrate Russian territory with tanks, self-propelled guns, MLRS, and regular units, facing resistance from Russian forces. The Russian military claims to have repelled these attempts, destroying Ukrainian military hardware including 5 tanks and three enemy armored personnel carriers in the south-east of the Grayvoronsky urban district, and inflicting casualties, with over 70 reported dead and 50+ confirmed liquidated. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing combat operations and conflicting claims from both sides. Notably, the Russians deployed an Iskander missile and Lancets against the incursion near Zhuravlevka village, close to Nekhoteevka, involving platoon forces and one Ukrainian Armed Forces tank. Two majors were also mentioned in the context of the conflict. Aerial reconnaissance spotted a group of about 50 near the Kursk village, highlighting the scale and coordination of the operation.
