Ukraine kept pounding the Russian border region of Kursk with missiles and drones on Wednesday, as Kyiv said it had made further territorial gains in an incursion that U.S. President Joe Biden called a "real dilemma" for the Kremlin's leader, APA reports citing Reuters.
Four Ukraine-launched missiles were destroyed over Kursk and the whole region was under air raid alerts on and off most of the night, its regional acting governor said early Wednesday.
Kyiv said on Tuesday it had taken control of 74 settlements in Kursk, a week after thousands of Ukrainian soldiers launched a startling attack through the Russian border.
Ukraine's account has jarred with Russia's assertions that Kyiv's troops had been halted and attacks had been repelled at villages about 26 to 28 km (16 to 17 miles) from the border.
