The high number of casualties in July continued an alarming trend of increasing civilian casualties since March 2024,
Russian terrorists hit an ordinary supermarket and a post office,
About 20,000 people need to be evacuated
No situation on the battlefield can justify targeting civilians,
It has to be stopped from an information point of view in order to show that Russia can indeed defend its borders,
Also, the aim is to expose the regime of Vladimir Putin as a colossus on clay feet, so to speak, to show to his elites that he is not as strong as he seems to be,
People are under the rubble. A rescue operation is underway and everything will be done to save people,
This is another targeted attack on a crowded place, another act of terror by the Russians,
The operational situation in the Kursk region remains difficult,
Such a coordinated ground force movement responds to a clear military objective, yet unknown, that requires extreme operational security,
The lack of a coherent Russian response to the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk...and the reported rate of Ukrainian advance indicates that Ukrainian forces were able to achieve operational surprise,
The police, rescue workers, medics and all relevant services are working at the scene of the strike. We are establishing the final consequences of the attack,
Russia will be held accountable for this terror,
10 were killed and 35 others were wounded,
