Russia Foils Ukrainian Attack on Belgorod Region, Over 30 Terrorists Killed - MoD
09:46 GMT 01.06.2023 (Updated: 12:48 GMT 19.06.2023) An apparent attempt by Ukrainian militants to reprise last month's raid on Russia's Belgorod Region has been foiled by the timely intervention of Russia's military and border security forces.
Early on June 1, units of the Russian armed forces and the border guard, as well as other elements of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB, the agency in charge of Russia's border security), have repelled three attempts by Ukrainian forces to invade Russia's territory near the town of
Shebekino.
"This morning, the Russian armed forces .. thwarted a new attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist act against the civilian population of the city of Shebekino, Belgorod Region," the Russian Ministry of Defense said in a statement issued today.
According to the statement, Ukraine mustered two infantry companies supported by tanks for this attack.
"Thanks to brave actions of Russian servicemen, three attacks by Ukrainian terrorist groups were repelled," the ministry said, adding that combat aircraft belonging to the forces of Russia's Western Military District have conduct 11 strikes on the enemy targets.
"As a result of the active actions of the units covering the state border of the Western Military District and the FSB of Russia, the terrorist formations of the Kiev regime, having suffered significant losses, were driven back. Violations of the state border were not allowed," the ministry said.
During the fighting, Ukrainian forces lost "30 terrorists, four armored fighting vehicles, Grad MLRS combat vehicle, one pickup truck," according to the estimates provided by Moscow.
Prior to the attack, Ukraine carried out
rocket artillery strikes against Shebekino, damaging residential buildings and causing injuries among civilians.
Last month, a small contingent of Ukrainian militants outfitted with Western military hardware
launched a raid into Russia's Belgorod Region.
The group's attempts to sow terror among the civilians ended in failure due to a swift response by the Russian armed forces, who promptly crushed the Ukrainian raiders, killing 70 and forcing the rest to flee back to Ukraine.
