2025年11月3日，俄烏衝突再度升級，俄羅斯方面宣稱，烏克蘭武裝部隊對俄羅斯庫爾斯克州的襲擊已造成近2000人傷亡，另有約500至600人下落不明。根據俄羅斯外交部無任所大使米羅什尼克在電視直播節目上的表示，搜救工作仍在進行中，但烏克蘭方面尚未對此作出回應。

烏克蘭武裝部隊總參謀部於11月1日發布戰報稱，烏軍空軍、導彈部隊及炮兵對俄軍人員、武器及軍事裝備集結區展開攻擊，並在北斯洛博然斯克、庫爾斯克及南斯洛博然斯克方向多次擊退俄軍進攻。同時，在庫皮揚斯克及亞歷山德里夫斯克方向，俄軍組織攻勢，烏軍則對俄軍人員及軍事裝備進行打擊，雙方均宣稱取得局部戰果。

俄國防部在1日表示，俄軍突擊部隊持續在哈爾科夫州的庫皮揚斯克、彼得羅夫卡及維利卡沙普科夫卡等地區打擊烏軍部隊，挫敗其戰術意圖。此外，俄軍對保障烏克蘭軍工企業運作的能源設施、軍用機場基礎設施、遠程攻擊無人機儲存與發射準備點，以及烏軍臨時部署點進行打擊，摧毀烏軍無人艇，擊落烏方制導航空炸彈和固定翼無人機，意圖削弱烏軍戰力。

俄國防部於11月3日進一步稱，在紅軍城（烏方稱波克羅夫斯克）方向收緊對烏軍的包圍圈，多次挫敗烏軍突圍行動。烏克蘭方面則表示，成功阻止俄軍的攻勢，並在部分前線地區穩住陣地。

整體來看，雙方在庫爾斯克州及周邊戰區的交戰持續激烈，造成重大人員傷亡和物資損失。此次衝突反映出俄烏雙方在戰略要地的爭奪愈加白熱化，同時也凸顯前線平民與軍事目標所面臨的嚴峻安全威脅。當地局勢仍然緊張，國際社會對人員傷亡和衝突升級表示高度關注。

On November 3, 2025, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalated further, with Russia claiming that attacks by Ukrainian armed forces on Kursk Oblast had resulted in nearly 2,000 casualties, with an additional 500 to 600 people reported missing. According to Russian Ambassador-at-Large Miroshnik, speaking on a live television program, search and rescue operations are ongoing. Ukraine has not yet responded to these claims.

On November 1, the Ukrainian General Staff reported that its air force, missile units, and artillery had struck Russian personnel, weapons, and military equipment assembly points. Ukrainian forces claimed to have repelled multiple Russian attacks in the northern Slobozhanshchyna, Kursk, and southern Slobozhanshchyna directions, while in areas including Kupiansk and Oleksandrivsk, Russian forces launched offensives that Ukrainian units sought to counter by targeting Russian troops and equipment. Both sides reported partial tactical successes.

The Russian Ministry of Defense stated on November 1 that Russian assault units continued operations in Kupiansk, Petrovka, and Velyka Shapkovka in Kharkiv Oblast, thwarting Ukrainian tactical maneuvers. Russian forces also targeted infrastructure supporting Ukrainian military-industrial operations, including energy facilities, military airfield infrastructure, storage and launch sites for long-range attack drones, and temporary Ukrainian troop deployments. They reported destroying Ukrainian unmanned boats and shooting down Ukrainian guided aerial bombs and fixed-wing drones, aiming to degrade Ukrainian combat capabilities.

On November 3, the Russian Ministry of Defense further reported that near Krasna Armia (known in Ukrainian as Pokrovsk), Russian forces tightened encirclement of Ukrainian troops, foiling multiple Ukrainian breakout attempts. Ukraine, meanwhile, claimed to have successfully halted Russian offensives and maintained positions in certain frontline areas.

Overall, the fighting in Kursk Oblast and surrounding regions remains intense, causing significant casualties and material losses. The conflict highlights the increasingly fierce struggle for strategic locations and underscores the severe security risks faced by both military personnel and civilians in frontline areas. The situation remains tense, drawing international attention to the escalating human toll and regional instability.
