Moscow launched a “counter-terror operation” in three border regions adjoining Ukraine as Kyiv’s troops press on inside Russia in the most serious border incursion in the 2.5-year conflict.
Russia’s national anti-terrorism committee said late Friday it was starting “counter-terror operations in the Belgorod, Bryansk and Kursk regions … in order to ensure the safety of citizens and suppress the threat of terrorist acts being carried out by the enemy’s sabotage groups.”
