Border towns in the Kursk and Belgorod regions have become battlegrounds, with conflicting reports emerging from the frontlines.
The Freedom of Russia Legion, a group supporting Ukraine and fighting against the Putin regime, claims to have seized control of Tetkino in the Kursk region. They assert that Russian forces abandoned the settlement, leaving behind heavy equipment as they retreated. Footage released by the Russian Volunteer Corps purportedly shows the shameful escape of Russian soldiers from the area.

However, Russia's Federal Security Service has a different narrative, stating that they repelled multiple attacks by Ukrainian saboteurs in Tetkino, thwarting attempts to breach the border. Despite these claims, the situation on the ground remains volatile.

Alexei Baranovsky, a representative of the organization "Freedom of Russia Legion" claims that the Russian military has suffered losses, including armored vehicles, in clashes with pro-Ukrainian forces. Baranovsky also suggests plans to expand operations into other Russian regions.
In response to the overnight attacks, the Kremlin has declared that the Russian military remains on alert and is taking necessary measures to address Ukrainian drone and missile strikes. Ukrainian forces reportedly targeted Russian territory with at least 25 drones and nine missiles, causing a fire at a major oil refinery in the world's second-largest oil exporter.
