Russian forces have repelled another attempt by Ukraine to cross the border into Russia, claims the governor of the Bryansk region, Aleksandr Bogomaz.
A "armed group" attempted to break through the border between Ukraine and the region on Sunday, but was beaten back, according to the governor. Bogomaz does not clarify whether Ukrainian soldiers carried out the alleged attack, but claims that the Russian military has the situation under control.
Ukraine has not commented on the reports.
The Bryansk region borders the Kursk region, where Ukraine launched a surprise invasion of Russia on August 6.
Russian representatives and state media have tried to downplay the significance of Ukraine's military incursion into Kursk, but the Russian military has so far failed to drive Ukraine out of the area.
