Russia says Ukraine fired mortars at Bryansk border post
A border post in the Bryansk region has been fired at with mortars from Ukraine, Russia’s security service has said, in the latest of a series of reported cross-border attacks.
No one was injured in the incident but some vehicles were damaged, a spokesman for Russia’s FSB security service told state television.
Ukrainian interior ministry adviser Anton Herashchenko said in a post on the Telegram messaging service that something “fell and caught fire” at a military facility in Bryansk near the border.
The post did not explicitly deny Ukraine was responsible. Russia’s defense ministry said on Wednesday that the continuation of “sabotage and attacks” by Ukrainian forces could trigger strikes on Kyiv.
