Ukrainian Drones Hit Russian Targets Amid Fresh Kursk Offensive

The Ukrainian military is continuing its assault in Russia's Kursk region, with Moscow claiming it is repelling advancing Ukrainian troops. Ukraine first launched a surprise attack on the Kursk region in August 2024, and Russian and North Korean troops have since been deployed to defend the area. One analyst told RFE/RL Kyiv may be looking to "expand their foothold ahead of negotiations."
