Russian investigators are probing allegations that Ukrainian armed forces deliberately shelled civilians during an evacuation in April 2025, resulting in six fatalities in the Kursk region. Additionally, two civilian deaths from March 2025 and reports of looting by Ukrainian troops in the village of Guyevo are part of the inquiry, with Russia claiming to have recently retaken the village.
Reuters reported that these investigations are ongoing amid concerns over civilian safety in the conflict zone. The agency was unable to independently verify these allegations, and Ukraine's defense ministry has yet to comment on the matter.
