Russia says delaying local elections in seven areas of Kursk region

Russia's electoral commission on Wednesday said on Telegram it was postponing elections in seven municipalities in the Kursk region, where Ukrainian troops launched an offensive more than two weeks ago.

The commission said that the votes would occur there once there was "a full guarantee of the security of voters" but added that elections for a regional governor starting next week would go as planned in the rest of the region.
