Russia and North Korea amass 50,000 troops for Kursk offensive amid nuclear tensions
Russia has deployed its 76th Airborne Assault Division to the Kursk region to bolster its assault operations following high casualties among its marines and airborne troops. This move aims to enhance Russia's offensive capabilities and dislodge Ukrainian forces from the area. Despite the buildup, Ukrainian troops have been successful in destroying a significant amount of Russian military equipment, which has eased pressure on Ukrainian frontlines in the east.
