The Kursk Region authorities have begun an active phase of restoring destroyed houses in border areas, using modern aerial photography methods to record damage. As Acting Governor Alexander Khinshtein stated, the use of aerial photography will allow for prompt recording of the condition of households and speed up the decision-making process on compensation payments and housing restoration. 

The program for restoring border areas was discussed at a meeting of the regional government, where authorities noted that work to assess the damage is already underway and must be continued as soon as possible, without waiting for the entire area to be liberated. 

As of February 10, 815 applications from residents of 82 settlements have been processed. Each household is inspected in accordance with a pre-approved schedule. The main task of local authorities is to speed up the procedure for recognizing lost housing so that affected families can quickly receive compensation or certificates for new housing. 

The Kursk region, which is regularly subjected to shelling and drone attacks, was one of the first to begin using advanced methods of recording destruction. In addition to aerial photography, drone monitoring and satellite analytics are also used, which allows for constant monitoring of the state of settlements located at risk.
