Zelenskyy says troops hold Kursk positions

Russia launched another massive drone attack on Ukraine late Saturday. According to the Ukrainian Air Force, several groups of drones were moving across central Ukraine, such as the Poltava, Sumy, Chernihiv, Cherkasy and Kyiv regions.

The drones are constantly changing their course, the air force said on the Telegram messaging app.

Meanwhile, the Kyiv regional military administration said on social media that air defense is repelling the drone attack over the region and asked people to remain in shelters.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Kyiv’s forces were holding their ground in Russia’s Kursk border region.

Ukrainian forces have held part of the region since an incursion in early August.

“Regarding the Kursk operation, there were attempts by Russia to push back our positions, but we are holding the lines,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address.
