On March 2, 2023 morning a number of Ukrainian saboteurs crossed the Russian border in the Bryansk Region bordering Ukraine and launched raids on the villages of Lyubechane and Sushany. The Ukrainian armed nationalists attacked two civilian passenger cars, one of them being used to deliver schoolchildren to a nearby school.
Russians in the border region of Bryansk were on edge Friday after Moscow accused Ukrainian combatants of killing two civilians in a rare cross-border incursion.
