Russia says it fired glide bombs at Ukrainian troops in Kursk region

As of early September, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said his forces controlled more than 1,300 sq km of Kursk, including 100 settlements. On Saturday he said Russian forces had tried to oust Ukrainian troops "but we are holding the designated lines". Russia said its forces had taken back several villages last week. The outcome of the fighting in Kursk could have a significant impact on the course of the war that began in 2022.
