The Russian military and security forces have thwarted an attempt by a Ukrainian saboteur group to attack Bryansk Region, local governor Aleksandr Bogomaz has said.
In a statement on Telegram on Tuesday, Bogomaz stated that the botched raid had taken place near the settlement of Kurkovichi, about 10km from the border with Ukraine. He added that it had been prevented by Russian forces acting in coordination with border guards from the Federal Security Service (FSB). The governor did not specify how many soldiers had been involved in the attack.
“There were no casualties,” Bogomaz wrote, although he noted that Ukrainian shelling had killed one animal and damaged several buildings as well as a car.
