Russia is stepping up its response to a Ukrainian incursion – vowing a tough reaction to the offensive on its own soil.

Russia's Defense Ministry released images of what it says are strikes on a Ukrainian tank and drone in the Kursk region. The Russian army says it has repelled attacks near two villages.

Meanwhile, Russian state media are reporting more than 76,000 people have been evacuated from border areas. With the incursion now into its 6th day, the local governor says 13 people were injured after Ukrainian drones and missiles were shot down over the Kursk region.

For more on this, we talk to Marina Miron at the War Studies Department at King's College London.

    Bully - 'Mum I punched a boy at school for no reason' Mum - 'What happened?' Boy - 'He punched me in the face back, it's not fair'

    Bullies always cry and throw a fit when you fight back. You know what bullies almost never do when you stick up for yourself? They almost never fight back, they just walk away crying for mommy. Vladimir’s mom would be so disappointed in him if she was still alive.
  • Hard to mount a tough response when you leave your frontline troops unsupplied for a week.
