Ukraine Expands Surprise Incursion into Russia

HeadlineAug 12, 2024

Russia has ordered residents in parts of the Belgorod region to evacuate as Ukraine expands its attacks inside Russian territory. Thousands of Ukrainian troops are now pushing into both the Kursk and Belgorod regions of Russia in a surprise offensive that began six days ago. Meanwhile, a Russian missile hit a supermarket in eastern Ukraine on Friday, killing at least 14 people and injuring 43 others.

In other news from the region, Ukraine and Russia are blaming each other after a major fire broke out Sunday at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which has been occupied by Russian forces for two years. Russia accused Ukraine of shelling the plant, while Ukraine blamed Russia for starting the fire, which occurred in the plant’s cooling towers.
