Russia’s FSB domestic security service says it has killed a group of saboteurs from Ukraine that attempted to cross into a Russian border region.

“As a result of a clash on December 25, 2022, four saboteurs, who attempted to enter the territory of Bryansk region from Ukraine, were killed,” the FSB says in a statement carried by Russian news agencies.

It adds that they were carrying foreign weapons and “improvised explosive devices.”
