The Kursk region’s governor, Roman Starovoit, addressed the fallout from the shelling of the Korenevsky district by Ukrainian forces. The information circulated through his Telegram channel, where he provided a detailed account of the incident and its immediate consequences.
Starovoit confirmed that two construction workers were injured while performing their duties along the protective line that runs adjacent to the state border. One of the workers sustained abrasions to the leg and a mild concussion but declined hospital care. The other worker suffered a moderate ankle injury and received medical attention at the district hospital, with plans for continued treatment to ensure proper recovery and monitoring.
The governor noted that the second casualty remained under medical supervision at the district hospital and would continue to receive care locally to manage the injury and support healing. He emphasized the importance of the protection line that stretches along the border, a critical area for safeguarding infrastructure and local communities, especially under ongoing tensions in the region.
Earlier statements from Starovoit indicated that Ukrainian forces had opened fire again on Tetkino, a village in the Glushkovsky district, in the morning hours. This renewed shelling added to a pattern of incidents reported over recent days, underscoring the fragile security situation in the border districts of Kursk.
According to the Kursk governor, the two injured workers were confirmed victims of the attack, with no fatalities reported at the time of the briefing. The power grid in several streets remained affected, and some areas experienced outages due to damage to electrical lines, complicating rescue and recovery efforts and amplifying the impact on everyday life for residents of the affected communities. In the aftermath, emergency services intensified their response to ensure access to essential services and support for those displaced or affected by the violence.
In his remarks, Starovoit reiterated the broader implications of such attacks, drawing attention to the ongoing risk to civilian infrastructure and the urgent need for stability in border regions. He highlighted the resilience of local residents and the continuous work of regional authorities to provide medical care, restore utility services, and maintain public safety amid frequent security challenges. The situation remained under careful observation as authorities coordinated with neighboring districts to monitor developments and respond quickly to any fresh incidents or threats.
As the day continued, residents were urged to stay informed through official channels and follow any advisories issued by local authorities. While not every detail could be confirmed immediately, the governor stressed the commitment to transparency and ongoing communication with the public about safety measures, hospital readiness, and the status of critical infrastructure in the region. The broader aim remains to minimize disruption to daily life while ensuring swift support for those affected by the continued hostilities along the border.
