The operation was conducted in line with the latest developments of [[American]] military doctrine, namely the doctrine of multi-domain operations. The essence of the multi-domain operation is that the object of attack is not only the enemy's armed forces, but also the entire environment in which they operate. Multi-domain operations combine classical warfare with cyber attacks, information and [[Psyop|psychological operations]], and control in cyberspace. American fingerprints were all over the invasion.

The purpose of terror tactics was to force local residents to stay in their homes in order to, on the one hand make it more difficult for Russian aircraft to strike at invading units in populated areas, and on the other hand to make it easier for the NATO forces to take hostages. It is not unusual for Ukrainians to use civilians as [[human shield]]s, but by the third day the NATO terror tactics changed. The Center for Information and Psychological Operations of Ukraine began to encourage a large-scale flight of the population from areas where there was no fighting.  Ukrainians, pretending to be officers of the Russian Armed Forces, made calls to local residents and [[disinformation]] on [[social media]] networks grew rampant. The strikes on the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant were intended by the Ukrainians to sow chaos and panic. Thus disorganizing the situation in the rear for Russian units trying to put together a defense.

The Russian National Antiterrorism Committee (NAC) launched the largest ever counter-terror operation in Russian history with its emergency declaration: "The Kiev regime made an unprecedented attempt to destabilize the situation in a number of regions of our country...The terrorist attack on the territory of the Kursk region by units of the [[Armed Forces of Ukraine]] resulted in casualties among the [[civilian]] population and the destruction of homes and other civilian facilities...In order to ensure the safety of [[citizen]]s and stop the threat of terrorist acts that could be carried out by the enemy's sabotage and reconnaissance formations, the National Antiterrorism Committee Chairman and Russian Federal Security Service Director, [[Alexander Bortnikov]], decided to conduct counterterrorism operations in the [[Belgorod]], Bryansk and Kursk regions starting from 9 August 2024".<ref>https://tass.com/emergencies/1827357</ref> As a consequence of invoking a counter-terror operation, there is no statute of limitations for prosecution of anyone involved in terrorism, meaning anyone involved in the "incursion", including NATO planners. [[Alexey Dyumin]], the new secretary of the State Council, was appointed the overseer of the whole military/civilian response.
