Russia's armed forces have regained control over the Krupets village in the border region of Kursk, amid a 10-day-long Ukrainian incursion into the region, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced.

On the opposite front, Russia said that it took control of a village 16 km from Donetsk's city of Pokrovsk, to the east of Ukraine, which sits in parallel to a major Ukrainian armed forces supply line.

Analysts believed that the incursion into Kursk would see the diversion of Russian troops from several axes of advancement into Ukraine.

The Russian ministry stated that its forces had gained control of several areas in Kharkov, Luhansk, and Donetsk.

Russia's Minister of Defense, Andrei Belousov, stressed that commanders prepared a series of actions to increase security in Russian regions directly bordering Ukrainian-controlled territories.

"We are talking, first of all, about increasing the efficiency of the troop command and control system in interaction with other law enforcement agencies and the administration of the Belgorod region," he explained.

Belousov also revealed that Russia will allocate additional "forces and means" that will be sent out to carry out major tasks.
