Russian troops are increasingly shelling their own settlements in Kursk region, which is typical of their scorched earth tactics.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andrii Sybiha, wrote about this on X, Ukrinform reports.

"In the Kursk region, Russians are increasingly shelling their own settlements. Artillery and air strikes without any mercy for civilians. Typical Russian scorched-earth tactics, which they now use on their own villages and towns," wrote Sybiha.
