FSB says two ‘Ukrainian saboteurs’ killed and five arrested in Russia’s Bryansk region

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) reported that a group of “Ukrainian saboteurs,” made up of personnel from the Ukrainian security service, the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, and Special Operations Forces, “had been repelled” in Russia’s Bryansk region.

Interfax cited the FSB as saying that the “saboteurs” were preparing a series of terrorist attacks on military and energy infrastructure. The FSB reported that two Ukrainian fighters were killed and five were arrested in the Bryansk region. Three of those who were arrested had been wounded.

Bryansk governor Alexander Bogomaz posted nearly the exact same statement on his Telegram channel, and said that the “saboteurs” possessed American-made automatic rifles with silencing devices, powerful explosive devices, a large number of NATO standard grenades and ammunition, and night vision devices.
