Ukraine is firing artillery and launching drone strikes on Russia's Belgorod region, according the the Russian governor of the territory, who has declared a state of emergency.
A Ukrainian military vehicle filled with captured Russian troops travels on the Ukrainian side of the border with Russia on Tuesday. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine has captured hundreds of Russian fighters since it launched its invasion into the Kursk region of western Russia on Aug. 6.
Belgorod is adjacent to the Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces carried out a surprise invasion last week and still hold a large chunk of Russian territory. There were no reports that Ukrainian ground troops had entered Belgorod. Ukraine's government and military offered no immediate comment on the latest developments.
While the various figures could not be independently verified, they reflected the substantial size of the Ukrainian operation, which is believed to include thousands of troops from multiple brigades. Ukraine has sent tanks and other armored vehicles into Russia, as well as air defenses and electronic warfare equipment, according to military analysts.
