Ukrainian forces are currently engaged in a battle to breach the Russian border in the southern Belgorod region, according to reports from Russian Telegram channels. The fighting is taking place at two checkpoints in Nekhoteyevka and Shebekino, with around 500 Ukrainian troops involved.
This comes after Ukrainian forces seized Russian territory in the Kursk region on August 6. In related news, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief, Rafael Grossi, is visiting Russia's Kursk nuclear power plant to evaluate the nuclear safety and security conditions.
The plant has four reactors, similar to Ukraine's Chernobyl plant, but with significant safety upgrades. Meanwhile, Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, expressed condolences to the victims of Russia's overnight attacks and promised to respond to the attacks.
He called for the support of Western allies and the lifting of restrictions on using Western weapons to strike deep into Russian territory. President Joe Biden condemned Russia's actions as 'outrageous' and called for an end to Russia's war against Ukraine.
The situation remains tense, with ongoing airstrikes, missile attacks, and drone strikes on both sides.
