Russia and Ukraine report gains as some Ukrainians flee strategic city

Authorities in Kursk said they had begun installing concrete shelters to help protect civilians during the Ukrainian incursion.
President Vladimir Putin accused Ukraine of trying to strike Russia’s Kursk nuclear power plant in an overnight attack and said Moscow had informed the UN nuclear safety watchdog about the situation.
But he provided no documentary evidence to back up his assertion and there was no immediate comment from Ukraine.
Reuters was unable to independently confirm the attack or reports from the battlefield.
