Russia uses gas pipeline to attack Ukrainian forces in Kursk

A daring cross-border incursion by Ukrainian forces into the Kursk region of Russia in August marked a significant escalation in the conflict, seizing approximately 1,300 square kilometers of territory. This action is notable as the largest attack on Russian soil since World War II. Russian special forces had infiltrated a major gas pipeline in an attempt to target Ukrainian units, but were countered by the Ukrainian military.
