Russian forces reportedly reclaimed 100 km² in Kursk Oblast over the past week, according to Russian media Agentstvo, based on analysis of Ukrainian Deep State OSINT maps. The first reports of renewed Russian activity in Ukrainian-held Kursk Oblast territory emerged on 8 October. By 10 October, signs indicated a larger operation was underway. Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi reported that Russia redeployed 50,000 troops from other front sectors to Kursk Oblast.
"Ukrainian-occupied territory in Kursk Oblast now totals about 660 km², with 360 km² in the grey zone. Ukrainian forces have lost nearly a quarter of territory gained in Kursk Oblast since August," Agentstvo states.
Ukraine's incursion into Kursk Oblast began on 6 August, quickly capturing around 1,000 km². DeepState reported peak Ukrainian control at 900 km², plus 330 km² of grey zone. ISW estimated the conflict area at 1,160 km².
