Authorities say they have found a large number of explosive devices after Kiev’s operatives carried out a cross-border raid
The situation in Russia’s Bryansk Region is under the control of law enforcement agencies, the Federal Security Service (FSB) reported on Thursday after an attack by Ukrainian saboteurs. The agency also confirmed earlier reports that one local resident had been killed in the attack and that an 11-year-old child had received a gunshot wound.
The FSB stated that the area is currently being checked and inspected and that a large number of explosive devices of various types had been found. Bomb squads are working on the scene to disarm the explosives.
On Thursday morning a number of Ukrainian saboteurs crossed the Russian border and launched raids on the villages of Lyubechane and Sushany. The gunmen attacked a civilian vehicle, killing one man and injuring a child. At the same time, Bryansk Governor Aleksandr Bogomaz also reported artillery and mortar strikes in the area.
The FSB along with the Russian Defense Ministry have since reported that they are taking measures to eliminate the attackers.
