00:18The first moments of a strike on Russia's Lgov were caught on camera on Thursday, with locals seen running for cover, amid Ukraine's ongoing incursion into the Kursk region.
Head of Lgov Alexei Klemeshov claimed that four people were injured, two of them hospitalised, by falling debris with houses, cars and a sports facility sustaining damage.
Ukraine had not commented at time of publication, although has previously denied targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure during the ongoing conflict.
Kiev's Kursk region's incursion began on August 6. Russia's Vladimir Putin called it a 'large-scale provocation' and also accused Ukraine of targeting civilian areas. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the attack as 'purely [a] security issue for Ukraine'. Around 121,000 people have been evacuated from the Kursk border districts at time of publication.
Earlier this week, Kiev claimed it controlled '1,000 square kilometres' of Russian territory, although the Kursk government said the incursion amounted to around half of that; '12 kilometres' in depth and '40 kilometres' across.
Moscow launched a military offensive in Ukraine in late February 2022 after recognising the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR), claiming that Kiev had failed to guarantee their special status under the 2014 Minsk Agreements, and urging Ukraine to declare itself officially neutral and give assurances that it would never join NATO.
Kiev denounced the Russian action as an invasion. Zelensky imposed martial law throughout the country, announcing a general mobilisation, while the EU and the US imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow.
