Russia is evacuating residents from multiple villages in the Kursk region that are close to the border with Ukraine amid Kyiv's cross-border incursion, the local governor said Monday.

Authorities have decided to order the "obligatory evacuation of settlements in the Rylsky and Khomutovsky districts that are within a 15-kilometer (nine miles) zone adjacent to the border with Ukraine," Governor Alexei Smirnov said on Telegram.
