A group of Ukrainian soldiers is said to have tried to enter an area north of Ukraine, near the border with Belarus and at some distance from the ongoing counter-invasion in Kursk in the southwest.

The new invasion attempt was thwarted, according to Bryansk's governor Aleksandr Bogomaz. He wrote about it on social media on Wednesday evening, and the information is difficult to verify.

During the night to Thursday, Ukraine launched rockets and drones against several Russian regions, according to warnings from the Russian authorities. In one case, in the Volgograd region, a downed drone is said to have landed in a military facility and caused a fire.

Early on Wednesday morning, the mayor of Moscow alerted about an attack with eleven drones, which was one of the larger Ukrainian attacks to have taken place so far into Russia.

Russia's President Vladimir Putin accuses Ukraine of having tried to attack the nuclear power plant in Kursk, without presenting any evidence for it.

The enemy tried to attack the nuclear power plant during the night, said Putin in a televised government meeting.

Russian forces captured the Ukrainian nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia at an early stage of the war and still occupy it. Both sides have accused each other of risky shelling towards and from the area around the plant.
