Rusia lanza contraofensiva en la región de Kursk

By Jordi Bou

September 12, 2024 - Rusia dice que ha recapturado 10 asentamientos en su frontera en la regiónde Kursk, donde Ucrania lanzó una incursión transfronteriza el mes pasado.

Ukraine on Aug 6 launched the biggest foreign attack on Russia since World War Two, bursting through the border into the region of Kursk with thousands of troops supported by swarms of drones and heavy weaponry, including Western-made arms.

Ukraine claimed at the end of August to have taken control of some 100 Russian settlements and almost 1,300 square kilometres of territory.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also conceded Russia had launched its own counter-attack in the region, but insisted that the shock incursion was still going to plan, AFP reports.
