Additional context:
It is important to note that the Kursk region is located in western Russia, bordering Ukraine. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has resulted in heightened tensions in the region. The use of UAVs in military operations has become increasingly common, with both sides utilizing this technology for reconnaissance and attacks. The downing of Ukrainian UAVs over Russian territory is seen as a defensive action by the Russian government to protect its borders and citizens. These incidents further highlight the volatile situation in the region and the potential for escalation of hostilities.
