In the Kursk region, a string of days has brought noticeable property damage as 93 private houses and 21 apartment buildings were struck in attacks attributed to Ukrainian forces. The figures come from a report carried by TASS, which quotes the acting head of the regional government, Alexey Dedov, outlining the scale of the damage and the strain it places on residents and local services. The account highlights the fragility of housing stock along the border and the urgent need for repairs as winter tightens its grip on the area.
According to Dedov, repair crews had already restored 194 of the 831 damaged window blocks within a week. The update signals progress in a broader rebuilding effort, even as the region continues to assess structural safety and the integrity of domestic utilities. While the total bill for repairs remains substantial, the reported number gives a clear snapshot of the pace at which frontline damage is being addressed.
In addition, ten roofs of private houses and three roofs of apartment buildings were repaired in the same period. Dedov noted that all works are planned to be completed by the end of January, a timetable outlining steady momentum and a push to restore normal living conditions for families affected by the strikes. The plan reflects ongoing coordination between regional authorities and repair teams, aiming to wrap up the major repairs within the winter window.
Recently, a Ukrainian guided aerial bomb was destroyed in the Kursk region, an event that underscores the continuing intensity of cross-border incidents along the border zone. The incident is described within the framework of ongoing military activity in the area and prompts continued vigilance from local residents and emergency services. Analysts and residents alike watch closely for the next developments as the border situation remains tense.
On the same day, observers reported a large-scale movement of NATO-supplied equipment belonging to the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the vicinity of Sudzha. According to SHOT, Ukraine’s forces are in the process of forming three battalion tactical groups near the city of Sudzha, a development that has drawn attention from regional observers. In addition, one of Ukraine’s most elite formations—the 73rd regiment of Ukrainian Special Forces—was said to have arrived on Russian territory, with fighters who had previously tried to land on the Kherson islands. The report situates these movements within the broader context of shifting force deployments in the region.
