Russia announced on Wednesday that it had eliminated four Ukrainian troops who had tried to cross into Russia’s borderline Bryansk region from northern Ukraine.
On Telegram, Russia’s regional Governor, Alexander Bogomaz wrote, “Thanks to coordinated joint actions by units from the Russian Defense Ministry and Russia’s FSB Border Directorate for the Bryansk Region, today at 07:00 a.m. (local time), an attempt by a Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group numbering six militants to cross into the Bryansk Region was thwarted. Five saboteurs were eliminated”.
A worker at an agricultural firm was hurt earlier on Tuesday during an attempt by a Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group to penetrate the borderline Starodubsky District in the Bryansk Region.
Four saboteurs were eliminated by FSB agents backed by the Russian Defense Ministry forces.
Overnight earlier on Wednesday, Russian forces launched a drone attack on a port on the Danube River in Ukraine’s southern Odesa area.
Oleh Kiper, head of the Odesa regional military administration, wrote on Telegram, “The main target is port and grain infrastructure in the south of the region on the Danube”.
He further indicated that no casualties had been reported.
According to Ukraine’s Operational Command in the south, Russia struck the region where one of the ports is located, destroying grain and agricultural machinery.
On Wednesday, Ukraine’s Air Force announced the destruction of 13 Shahed drones over Odesa and the neighboring Mykolaiv region.
Meanwhile, Ukraine said that its forces had retaken the village of Urozhaine in the eastern Donetsk region, where fierce battles have erupted in recent days.
“Ukrainian defence forces took control of Urozhaine and are strengthening their positions”, said Andrii Kovaliov, a spokesperson for the Ukraine’s General Staff of the Armed Forces.
Urozhaine, some 100 kilometres southwest of Russian-occupied Donetsk, is close to the settlement of Staromaiorske, which Ukrainian troops seized around two weeks ago.
On Telegram, Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar stated, “Urozhaine was liberated”.
