Ukrainian attacks kill three in Russia's Kursk region: Governor

Ukrainian attacks killed three people in the Russian border region of Kursk on Monday, the regional governor said.
Russia said last month it had fully retaken the western region, with help from North Korean troops, months after Kyiv captured dozens of villages there in a shock cross-border incursion.
"A Ukrainian FPV-drone attacked a Lada Largus car... unfortunately as a result of the hit two women were killed," Kursk governor Alexander Khinstein said in a post on Telegram.
In a separate incident, a 53-year-old man was killed in his car when an explosive device was dropped onto it, Khinstein added.
Civilians living in border villages in both Russia and Ukraine have been regularly killed throughout the three-year conflict, launched by Moscow in February 2022, in drone attacks and artillery fire exchanged by both sides.
Khinstein said last week that 288 civilians had been killed during Ukraine's incursion into the Kursk region.
Ukrainian commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrsky said on Monday that the Kursk offensive had "achieved most of its goals".
Kyiv had been hoping to use its hold on the territory as a bargaining chip in ceasefire talks with Moscow.
Syrsky said despite Ukraine being pushed back, Kyiv had shown its military capacity with the shock August 2024 incursion and had also prevented Russia from launching offensives elsewhere on the front line.
