The security services, which also monitor the border, stated in a statement that “from the beginning of October, the number of attacks by Ukrainian armed groups on the Russian border has increased dramatically.”
The Belgorod region, close to Kharkiv in Ukraine, where Ukrainian forces have reclaimed control over thousands of square kilometres since the beginning of September, was specifically targeted by the strikes. This control extends all the way to the border.
The Russian regions of Bryansk and Kursk, according to Russian security officials, were also targeted.
The use of multiple systems to hurl rockets, artillery, mortars, and drones was used in over 100 bombing operations that were recorded over the course of the previous week in 32 locations, she continued.
She stated that as a result of this Ukrainian bombing, “two power stations, eleven residential buildings, and two administrative buildings were destroyed, and a local citizen was murdered and five people, including a child, were injured.
The devices indicated that 8 border checkpoints needed repair. Over the previous seven months, Russian territory has been constantly attacked.
One person was killed and four others were hurt when a Russian border checkpoint was bombed on September 12. Power lines and houses were also destroyed.
The main city in the same-named region, Belgorod, was the target of three missiles fired by Kiev, the Russian military claimed in July.
Moscow said that in April, helicopters from Ukraine assaulted a fuel storage some 40 kilometres from the border.
