Kursk is 500 kilometers from Moscow and is close to the border with Ukraine. Russia’s air defense now claims to have repelled three Ukrainian missiles there.
Russia’s anti-aircraft defense spotted three Ukrainian missiles over the Russian Kursk region near the border during the night Ukraine repelled. This was announced by the governor of Kursk, Roman Starovoit, on Telegram. The information could not be independently verified. There was initially no information on injuries or damage.
Ukraine has been fending off the Russian war of aggression for almost two years. Targets on Russian territory repeatedly come under fire.
