00:00Ukraine launched a new assault into Russia's Kursk region five months after Kiev's surprise incursion into Russia's border area.
00:13The first reports came in overnight on Sunday from Russian mail bloggers who said that Moscow troops came under heavy pressure.
00:21Russia's defense ministry later announced that its forces were repelling the attacks.
00:27The Russian statement said Ukraine attacked early in the morning near the village of Berdyn with two tanks, a mine-clearing vehicle and 12 armored combat vehicles with paratroops.
00:39The Institute for the Study of War says Ukrainian forces resumed offensive operations in at least three areas within the Ukrainian salient in Kursk region and made tactical advances.
00:50Based on the Russian mail bloggers' claims, Kiev's troops conducted multiple attacks east and northeast of Sudzha as well as southeast of Korenevo.
00:59Geolocated footage published on the 5th of January indicates that Ukrainian forces advanced in Fylde, southwest and south of Berdyn and entered the southern part of the settlement.
01:11Kremlin-controlled Russian mail bloggers largely expressed concerns that the renewed Ukrainian effort in Kursk may be a diversionary effort and claimed that it is too early to determine whether these operations in Kursk could be part of a future main effort.
01:27Over the past few months, Russian forces have been trying to push Ukrainian troops out of its territory.
01:34Kiev forces have allegedly lost up to half of the initially captured territory after Moscow sent more reinforcements to the area, including North Korean soldiers.
