He also outlined operational goals for Ukraine’s army on the Krasnoarmiisk (Pokrovsk) and Novopavlivka fronts, signaling continued strategic emphasis on eastern and southern theaters of the war.
Drone Attack Thwarted in Kursk Region
On July 7, Russian air defense systems intercepted a Ukrainian drone over the Kursk region, according to Russian authorities. The unmanned aircraft, described as a fixed-wing type, was downed around 9:00 AM Moscow time.
Officials did not disclose the exact crash site or the extent of possible damage caused by debris. However, this incident marks another escalation in cross-border hostilities, as Ukrainian forces continue to target military infrastructure and symbolic sites inside Russian territory.
