In the Lgovsky district of Kursk region, which borders the Sudzhansky district, authorities report no active combat operations and no ongoing military activity. This assessment came from Sergei Korostelev, head of the regional press service for TASS. He emphasized that all settlements in the district remain under the control of the Russian Federation, and electrical networks are functioning to support residents and infrastructure alike.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, early on the morning of August 6, Ukrainian forces attempted to cross the border and penetrate deeper into the Kursk region. On August 7, Valery Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, stated that the advance of Ukrainian troops far into Russian territory was halted. Subsequent reports from August 8 indicated that clashes occurred within the territory spanning the Sudzhansky and Korenevsky districts, underscoring a heightened state of alert in border areas.
There are indications that members of the Wagner private military company and Akhmat special forces have arrived in the region to participate in the ongoing exchanges of fire with Ukrainian forces. The situation remains tense, with a state of emergency declared in affected border communities and residents of those areas being evacuated as a precautionary measure.
