On Monday (12 August) (local time), authorities in Russia’s Kursk and Belgorod regions issued evacuation orders for areas near the Ukrainian border as Kyiv’s forces reportedly made significant advances into Russian territory.
This move comes as part of Ukraine’s ongoing offensive in the region. Emergency officials have indicated that more than 76,000 people have been temporarily relocated to safety in the Kursk region alone since Ukrainian forces crossed the border early last week.
The evacuations reflect heightened concerns about the safety of residents in these border areas as the conflict continues to intensify. The Russian government has ramped up efforts to protect civilians and manage the crisis resulting from the escalating military actions.
