Russia's military has said it is "continuing to repel" a Ukrainian cross-border incursion into the western Kursk region - a surprise attack now in its fourth day.
The Russian defence ministry said Ukraine lost more than 280 military personnel in the past 24 hours - a claim that has not been independently verified.
Reports suggest that Ukrainian troops are operating more than 10km (six miles) inside Russia - the deepest cross-border advance by Kyiv since Moscow launched a spop in February 2022.
The situation in the Kursk Region remains complicated, a system of assistance to forced resettlers has been organized, the acting governor, Alexey Smirnov, has said on his Telegram channel.
"The situation in the Kursk Region remains difficult. In cooperation with the social services and non-governmental organizations a system of assistance to internally displaced persons has been organized," he wrote.
A humanitarian aid warehouse has been deployed in Kursk, where relief supplies from other regions of Russia are pouring in. Reserves of electric power generators, bottled water and medicines have been created.
The Russian Armed Forces continue to tackle the Kiev regime’s attempted invasion of Russia’s Kursk region, the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) has said in a statement.
