A new front has opened in the war between Ukraine and Russia. According to the Associated Press:

Ukrainian troops continue to hold key border crossing invasion advanced into Russia’s Kursk region for a second week on Wednesday, claiming to have captured more ground, captured more Russian prisoners and destroyed a jet bomber, while officials said they were carrying out a large-scale attack on Russian military airfields.

Since the beginning of the day, assault forces in some parts of Kursk have advanced about half a mile, Ukrainian army commander Oleksandr Syrsky said in a video posted on President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Telegram channel.

Ukrainian forces also captured more than 100 Russian soldiers on Wednesday, Syrskyi said. Zelenskyy said they would be used to exchange them for Ukrainian prisoners of war.
