Ukraine-Russia war – live: Second ‘sabotage’ attack across Russian border in two days as Moscow says four dead
Reports of a Ukrainian “sabotage” attack across the Russian border on Wednesday morning are coming in, as Moscow has claimed four people were killed in the incident. According to Sky News, Bryansk regional governor Aleksandr Bogomaz wrote on Telegram that an “attempt by a Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group consisting of six militants to penetrate the territory of the Bryansk region was foiled at 7am today”. Russia usually blames these attacks on Ukraine, who rarely claims responsibility for these cross-border incursions. Earlier today, Russian troops were reportedly seen fleeing cluster bombs as a Ukrainian drone was reportedly downed over Crimea. Footage released by the Ukrainian defence ministry shows US-supplied cluster munitions, which spray “bomblets” across a wide area, hitting Russian forces amid Kyiv’s recapturing of the key strategic settlement of Urozhaine in the Donetsk region. “Ukrainian troops have liberated Urozhaine village, Donetsk region!” the Ukrainian defence ministry posted on X on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Russia's Defence Ministry said on Wednesday its forces had shot down a Ukrainian drone over Crimea, Interfax reported, the latest in a flurry of what Moscow calls "terrorist attacks".
