Officials in the Kursk region reported a Ukrainian drone strike targeting the village of Tetkino. The claim states that an unmanned aerial vehicle released an explosive device at the settlement. Local authorities indicated that the blast disrupted the operation of a nearby substation, leaving Tetkino and the adjacent village of Popovo-Lezhachi without electrical power. There were no reported upshots in terms of casualties, and no structural damage to homes or social facilities was noted. Emergency teams were placed on standby, with restoration work anticipated in the near term. As a temporary measure, the boiler room serving the settlements was to be connected to generators while repairs progressed. The regional leadership noted that two districts within Kursk had already experienced power losses due to bombardments this week. The Kursk region has seen repeated shelling from Ukrainian forces, including Tetkino.
At the national level, action continues in the form of a broader strategic operation described by Russian officials as ongoing in Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin announced the plan on February 24, framing it as a mission to demilitarize Ukraine and to establish new governance. The announcement quickly tied the operation to new sanctions imposed by the United States and allied partners. Reports on developments in Kursk and across the border continue to be tracked by various media outlets, with ongoing updates and official statements used to frame the evolving security situation.
