Russia has announced what it called a counterterrorism operation to increase security in the border region of Kursk.
Russia on Saturday announced increased security measures in the border region of Kursk, where an incursion this week by Ukrainian forces caught Russian troops off guard and exposed its military vulnerabilities in the nearly 2½-year-old war.
Ukrainian officials have refused to comment on the incursion, which is taking place about 320 miles southwest of Moscow. Five days after it was launched, Ukrainian officials still haven't commented on the operation, but some Ukrainian soldiers appeared to break with that policy of silence by posting videos and photos on social media.
