These measures are enacted to protect citizens and prevent potential terrorist acts.
On Saturday, the Russian National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC) initiated a counterterrorism operation (CTO) regime across the Belgorod, Bryansk, and Kursk regions in response to recent security threats.

The move comes after a Ukrainian attack in the Kursk region, which has resulted in civilian casualties and the destruction of residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure.
The NAC emphasized that the CTO’s legal framework includes the implementation of necessary measures and temporary restrictions under Article 11 of the Federal Law “On Combating Terrorism.”
These measures are aimed at ensuring the safety of the population, maintaining public order, and enhancing the protection of critical infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko informed that twelve people are in critical condition following a large-scale Ukrainian assault on Russia’s Kursk region that began on Tuesday.
“55 people, including 8 children, are receiving inpatient treatment following shelling by Ukraine in the Kursk region,” he said and mentioned that 20 victims, including 2 children received outpatient care, adding that medical teams continued to work in the region and all victims were receiving the necessary medical assistance.
Russia declared a state of emergency in the Kursk region due to the tense situation there. The Defense Ministry said that a military operation to defeat the Ukrainian forces in Kursk was ongoing. The Ukrainian side lost 945 troops and 102 military vehicles since the start of the incursion.
