"Units of the Sever group of forces liberated the settlements of Melovoy, Podol, and Sudzha during the offensive," the statement read.
Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia aims to regain full control of the Kursk region as soon as possible while prioritizing the safety of its military personnel and civilians.

Ukraine has yet to comment on Russia’s claims, and independent verification remains difficult due to the ongoing Moscow-Kyiv conflict.
