Russian special forces launched a surprise attack on Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region by crawling through a disused gas pipeline. Reports indicate that the soldiers traveled miles inside the pipeline to strike Ukrainian positions from the rear. Ukraine's military claims the Russian forces were detected and attacked with rockets, leading to heavy Russian losses. The assault is part of a broader Russian effort to reclaim territory in Kursk that Ukraine had seized in a previous offensive. Meanwhile, Russia has reportedly recaptured three settlements in the region as the battle intensifies.
