Russia claims to have prevented an incursion by Ukrainian “saboteurs” near Bryansk

After Kursk, Bryansk. Russia claimed on Wednesday evening, August 21, to have prevented an attempted incursion by a group of “saboteurs” Ukrainians near Briansk. This location is not insignificant since this border region is close to that of Kursk, where the Ukrainian army has been leading, since the beginning of August, an incursion into Russian territory.

This new attempt has “was prevented by Russian FSB forces” as well as by “units of the Russian armed forces“, the regional governor said on his Telegram account. Alexandre Bogomaz assures that “L“enemy was hit by gunfire” during this response.

The Russian army also claimed the capture of a new locality in Ukraine, Jelanné, illustrating the continued advance of its troops towards Pokrovsk, in the east of the country. Among the 53,000 inhabitants of Pokrovsk, families with children were called upon by regional authorities on Monday to leave their homes.
