Russia builds 25-football-field-sized military underground facility in region bordering Kursk

During ongoing Ukrainian military operations in the Kursk region, Russia has reportedly ramped up construction of defensive military facilities, not only in Kursk but in other neighboring regions as well. Ukrainian military sources who spoke to Kordon.Media said that the storage facilities in Kursk-bordering Bryansk region are equipped with tunnels wide enough to accommodate trucks.
