Russia has launched a major counteroffensive to reclaim large areas of Kursk seized by Ukrainian forces last month. Maj. Gen. Apti Alaudinov reported that Russian troops have regained control of about 10 settlements in the Kursk region, which borders northeastern Ukraine. Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed 12,000 Ukrainian military personnel have died in the Kursk operation since August 6, although this figure lacks supporting evidence and casualty numbers are often exaggerated by both sides.
