NBC News' Josh Lederman has the latest on Ukraine’s surprise attack into Russia’s Kursk region.
A convoy of burnt-out military trucks, some appearing to contain bodies, sits along the side of a highway. One bears the ‘Z’ symbol of the Kremlin’s war. The video, circulating on social media Friday and geolocated by NBC News, doesn’t show a beleaguered section of the front lines in eastern Ukraine. It is a village in Kursk, across the border in southern Russia.
The Institute for the Study of War said Thursday that Ukraine was able to achieve “operational surprise” and its forces could have moved as deep as 20 miles into Russia although, it said, they “most certainly do not control all of the territory.” NBC News has not verified the reports. Ukraine has stayed largely mute on the incursion.
