Russia targets Ukrainian forces near Kursk with glide bombs

Russian glide bombs targeted Ukrainian troops near Russia’s Kursk region border, executed by an Su-34 warplane. Moscow has struggled to expel Ukrainian forces from Kursk since their unexpected invasion on August 6. Ukrainian President Zelenskiy affirmed control over 1,300 sq km of Kursk. If sustained, this control shapes future peace negotiations amid Russia’s advances in eastern Ukraine.
