Moscow got nervous because of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' advance deep into the country.

A counterterrorism operation (CTO) regime has been implemented in the Bryansk, Kursk, and Belgorod regions of Russia. Moscow cites an increased threat from Ukraine as the reason for these measures, according to the Russian National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC). This has been reported by RBC Ukraine with a reference to Acting Governor of Kursk Region, Alexei Smirnov.

Bryansk region

The Russian side reports that the decision to implement the CTO regime in the Bryansk Region was made by the local FSB office, led by Major General S.V. Voronin.

The CTO regime in Bryansk Region is set to start at 11:00 PM on August 9, with no specified end date.

The NAC's statement cites increased levels of sabotage and terrorist threats from Ukraine as the reason for these measures.

Additionally, the announcement includes notifying interacting security forces and local authorities in the region.

Similarly, the authorities of the Kursk region have also announced the implementation of the CTO regime in the area for comparable reasons.

“By the decision of the National Anti-Terrorism Committee, due to the increased level of sabotage and terrorist threats from Ukraine, the CTO regime has been introduced in the Kursk region,” the Kursk governor posted on Telegram at 00:40.

The Russian NAC has also announced the implementation of the CTO regime in the Belgorod region.
