Ukraine's military said on Tuesday its air force had struck a Russian military command post in Russia's Kursk region the previous day.

"The facility sustained significant damage, leading to substantial casualties among enemy personnel," the general staff said on Telegram.

Reuters could not independently verify the statement, according to Reuters.

Ukraine's military has reported numerous strikes on Russian military and energy facilities in recent weeks.

Ukrainian forces have been battling Russian troops in the Kursk region since Ukraine mounted a cross border operation there last year.

First International Airline Lands at Tehran Airport since Flight Suspension

FlyDubai became the first international carrier to land at Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport on Friday at the end of a 20-day suspension of flights that was imposed due to Israeli attacks on Iran, the official IRNA news agency reported.

The arrival of Flight FZ1930 at Iran's biggest airport from the airline's base in the United Arab Emirates marked the start of a gradual return to normal operations in Iranian airspace, IRNA said.

FlyDubai is a low-cost carrier and a sister airline to Emirates.

Local authorities described the landing as a sign of restored stability and effective crisis management in the country's aviation sector, Reuters said. Passenger services were carried out under full safety and security protocols, IRNA reported.

International and domestic air traffic had been halted following Israeli airstrikes and heightened security concerns across Iranian skies.

Iran's airports have reopened for domestic and international flights, except for those in the cities of Isfahan and Tabriz, and the country's airspace is also open for international transit flights, state media reported.
