Some 11,000 people are evacuated from Russia's Belgorod region following reports of "enemy action".

Russia is evacuating residents from a second border region, as Ukraine continues its surprise week-long offensive inside the country.

Some 11,000 people in the Belgorod region have been moved, Russian state media reported, because of “enemy action” near the border.

Belgorod lies next to Kursk - where Ukrainian troops launched their surprise attack into Russian territory last Tuesday.

Ukrainian forces have since advanced up to 18 miles (30km) inside Russia - the deepest incursion into the country since Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Kyiv claims thousands of troops are involved.
