In an announcement from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, it was reported that counterintelligence agents attempted to infiltrate Russian territory from multiple locations in the Belgorod region. This operation involved the use of aerial vehicles, tanks, and artillery units. The Military Prosecutor’s Office has confirmed that the violation of the state border was prevented and that the adversaries suffered casualties. However, the information provided by the Russian MoD conflicts with the National Anti-Terrorism Committee’s statement, which claims that there have been multiple attempts to breach the state border since March 10.

The Ministry of Defense also confirmed that an attempt to breach the state border was made in the Totkino region of the Kursk region. The diversants were repelled, and there are further confirmations from military intelligence sources. The head of the Totkino region, Roman Starovoit, released a video where he described the previous night as “restless” and discussed the presence of a small group of invaders. The head of the region clarified that while there was shooting, there was no invasion.

The publication “Svoboda Rossii” has released several videos indicating a violation of the Russian-Ukrainian border. Russian blogs and the Telegram-channel Baza have also reported on the tense situation in the Totkino region of the Kursk region, where emergency measures and fortification work are underway.
