Russia launches counteroffensive in Kursk region

All the latest military updates on the war in Ukraine.

Russia has launched a counteroffensive in the Kursk region, just over a month after Ukrainian forces’ rapid incursion.
The size, scope, and potential outcome of the operation remain unclear.
According to reports, counterattacks have started along the western edge of the Ukrainian salient, with Russian forces attempting to advance from multiple directions, including the north, northeast, and west.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces have reportedly launched new attacks west of Snagost in response to the Russian counteroffensive.
There are claims that Ukrainian forces are operating southwest of Snagost, about 5 kilometres from the international border, suggesting that Ukrainian forces recently advanced near the settlement, reportedly after crossing the border.
The Russian Ministry of Defense and military bloggers claim that Ukrainian attacks have been repelled, but how much force Ukraine has committed to the reported counteroffensive is unknown.
According to the US-based think tank Institute for the Study of War, available visual evidence suggests that Russian forces counterattacking in the Kursk region may be using elements of more combat-experienced units.
