Ukrainian forces attacked Russia's western Kursk region on Monday, firing missiles, smashing through the border and then crossing minefields with special vehicles, according to Russian war bloggers.



"The enemy blew up bridges with rockets at night and launched an attack with armoured groups in the morning," Russian "RVvoenkor" war blogger said on Telegram.



"The mine clearance vehicles began to make passages in the minefields, followed by armored vehicles with troops. There is a heavy battle going on at the border."



The Ukrainian attack in Kursk was reported by multiple other Russian bloggers including "The archangel of special forces" and Russian state television war correspondent Alexander Sladkov.



Ukrainian officials have not commented on any advances but prosecutors said Russian shelling and guided bomb attacks during the day killed at least three people and injured others in border villages in the neighboring Sumy region.
