Kursk’s governor said Russia had to move in reserves to try and repel hundreds of fighters backed by tanks in one of he largest cross-border raids since Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Russia’s Defence Ministry said that it was continuing to fight Ukrainian units "in the areas of the Kursk region directly adjacent to the Russian-Ukrainian border." Niger’s military junta said it would follow Mali by severing relations with “immediate effect” and accusing Kyiv of supporting “terrorist” groups.
