Ukrainian army defeats Russian army in Kursk Oblast

(Patria) - Fierce fighting has been ongoing in Kursk Oblast for the third day. The Ukrainian army caught the Russian army completely unprepared for an attack on its territory, which caused anger among Russian military bloggers, who are angrily asking why they were not better prepared for such a situation.

The Ukrainian armed forces carried out a series of attacks on targets in Russia, as well as in occupied Crimea, during the night.

After Russian authorities announced that a massive drone attack was threatening the Lipetsk Oblast, detonations of explosive devices occurred at a military airport, and energy infrastructure was also hit. There was a power outage.

A state of emergency has been introduced in the Lipeck district to remove the consequences of the detonations of explosive devices, and four settlements have been evacuated.

Footage from Rylsk, allegedly showing a destroyed column of Russian military vehicles, has also spread on social media.

Putin described the incursion as a "large-scale provocation" and claimed that Ukrainian soldiers were carrying out attacks on civilian infrastructure.
