Description

The aftermath of a strike was seen at the swimming pool of a fitness centre in Lgov on Thursday, during the ongoing Ukrainian incursion in the Kursk region.

Footage shows a huge crater from the explosion and the damaged entrance to the building.

Head of Lgov, Alexei Klemeshov, claimed that four people were injured due to falling debris, with two hospitalised. He added that houses, cars, and the sports facility sustained some damage.

Ukrainian forces entered Kursk region on August 6, which Russian President Vladimir Putin called a 'large-scale provocation'.

Earlier this week, Kursk region's acting government reported that 12 people had been killed and 121 wounded, including 10 children. Kursk's acting governor also claimed that "28 settlements are under the enemy's control", with Ukrainian forces advancing to 12 kilometres in depth and 40 kilometres across.

A counter-terrorist operation regime was introduced in the Kursk, Belgorod and Bryansk regions on August 9, while around 121,000 people have been evacuated from the Kursk border districts.

On Tuesday, AFU Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky claimed that Ukrainian forces controlled '74 settlements', having previously stated that his forces had '1,000 square kilometres' of Russian territory. President Volodymyr Zelensky described the attack as 'purely [a] security issue for Ukraine'.

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.
