 No Armenians known to be among Kursk casualties - Foreign Ministry August 10, 2024 - 13:17 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia does not possess information about the presence of Armenian citizens or nationals among the victims of events in Kursk, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ani Badalyan said Friday, August 9, according to RFE/RL’s Armenian service reports. Ukrainian troops continue their offensive in Russia’s western Kursk region, as their surprise cross-border attack enters a fifth day. The Russian defence ministry said on Friday it was “continuing to repel” Ukraine’s military, which it claimed had lost more than 280 personnel in the past 24 hours - a figure that has not been independently verified,” the BBC reports. Reports suggest that Ukrainian troops are operating more than 10km (six miles) inside Russia - the deepest advance by Kyiv since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Ukraine has not openly admitted the incursion, but President Volodymyr Zelensky said this week that Moscow must "feel" the consequences for its invasion.
