About our Kursk news

Latest news on Kursk, providing comprehensive coverage of the Ukrainian incursion, Russian military response, civilian evacuations, and impacts on energy infrastructure in this strategic Russian oblast.

Kursk Oblast, a region in western Russia bordering Ukraine, has become the focal point of a major cross-border incursion by Ukrainian forces that began on 6 August 2024. With a population of over 1 million and the strategically important city of Kursk as its administrative center, this oblast has found itself at the center of a dramatic escalation in the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War.

The incursion, involving thousands of Ukrainian troops supported by tanks and armored vehicles, has pushed up to 30 kilometers into Russian territory. Ukrainian forces have reportedly captured dozens of settlements, including the town of Sudzha, and established a military administration in occupied areas. Russia has declared a state of emergency and launched a counter-terrorism operation, evacuating over 130,000 civilians from border regions.

This unprecedented attack on Russian soil has had wide-ranging impacts. Gas prices in Europe spiked as the Sudzha gas compressor station, a key node in the transit of Russian gas to Europe, fell under Ukrainian control. The fighting has approached within 30 kilometers of the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, raising international concern. Footage of Ukrainian troops tearing down Soviet-era monuments has circulated widely on social media.

Kursk holds deep historical significance as the site of one of World War II's largest tank battles in 1943. This "Second Battle of Kursk" in 2024 marks the first time since that war that foreign troops have occupied Russian territory. It comes as Ukraine seeks to regain momentum in the conflict and force Russia into negotiations, while testing the resolve of its Western backers.

Our NewsNow feed on Kursk provides minute-by-minute updates on this rapidly evolving situation from a wide range of reliable sources. Whether you're tracking military developments, diplomatic reactions, or the humanitarian impact, our comprehensive coverage keeps you fully informed on this pivotal moment in the Russo-Ukrainian War and its global ramifications.
