"For the first time, the Kursk region was hit by Western-made rocket launchers, probably American HIMARS," Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman for the Russian foreign ministry, said late on Friday on the Telegram messaging app. Ukraine's air defences, on the other hand, shot down all 14 Russian drones fired in an overnight attack, the Ukrainian air force said on Saturday.
Ukrainian army chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said on Friday that Kiev's forces were advancing between 1 and 3 kilometres in some areas in the Kursk region, 11 days since beginning an incursion into Russia.
