A local state of emergency is introduced in Russia’s Kursk region.
Handout footage from Russia reportedly shows a Russian drone attack on Ukrainian armoured vehicles outside the town of Sudzha, in Russia's Kursk region.
President Vladimir Putin said Ukraine had attacked civilian buildings while Russia’s top general vowed to crush the incursion. He added “nothing has changed about our policy” and Ukraine can use US-supplied weapons only “to target imminent threats just across the border”. A local Russian TV station broadcast images from the centre of the city showing destroyed buildings, debris strewn across the street and large craters in the ground from artillery hits.
Ukraine has not claimed responsibility for the incursion, the most serious cross-border attack in months.
