Ukraine launch daring raid in Russian border region

Operatives from Ukraine’s military intelligence agency launched a daring cross-border raid into Russia, it was claimed on Friday.

They were said to have inflicted an undisclosed number of losses on Russian forces in the frontier region of Belgorod, according to a post by Ukraine’s military intelligence agency on Telegram.

Video footage, shot from a helmet camera, shows the Ukrainian troops mining a road in the Gayvoron district that was said to have been inspected by Russian commanders because of poor conditions in the area.

At one point, an exchange of gunfire can be seen as Kyiv’s troops move through a heavily-wooded area.
