The Russian Defense Ministry has reported that the Russian army has struck Ukrainian invading forces in Kursk Region, releasing video footage of the attack. A brief clip shows what appears to be a precise strike on a Ukrainian unit in an open field, eliminating the spotted targets with artillery fire.
Ukraine had launched a major incursion into Kursk Region in early August, but the Russian forces have successfully pushed back their opponents in recent days. Ukrainian losses are estimated at over 12,000 service members and hundreds of armored vehicles since the start of the operation.
The purpose of the attack is believed to be to gain leverage in possible peace talks with Russia and instill fear in the population. However, Moscow has refused negotiations as long as Ukrainian troops remain on Russian soil, accusing Kiev of indiscriminate attacks on civilians.
