Ukraine Strikes Into Russian Soil in Bold Border Push

Ukrainian forces attacked Russia’s western Kursk region on Monday, firing missiles and breaching border defenses, according to Russian war bloggers. Moscow’s regional governor claimed no civilian casualties, but local sources reported power outages and damaged infrastructure. The strikes mark a rare incursion into Russian territory and follow international calls for de‑escalation in the months‑long conflict. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has promised to continue pressure on Russian forces until Ukraine’s territorial integrity is fully restored. NATO officials expressed concern over the escalation but stopped short of direct intervention warnings "Reuters".
