“Assault units of the Freedom of Russia Legion entered the Belgorod Oblast of the Russian Federation, destroyed a platoon strongpoint of Putin’s troops near the already familiar Terebreno, accomplished their assigned tasks, and have already returned.

Ukrainian intelligence confirmed combat clashes between Russian forces and ‘opponents of the Kremlin regime’ in the bordering Belgorod region of Russia.

The Main Intelligence Directorate did not explain who the ‘opponents of the Kremlin regime’ were. However, they noted that the unexpected attack on the positions of the Russian army caused panic among the personnel of the local garrison. Specifically, following orders from Russian commanders, chaotic artillery fire was opened on surrounding villages.

The governor of Belgorod Oblast, Vyacheslav Gladkov, also confirmed that a firefight occurred on the border of the village of Terebreno. Later, he reported minor damage to civilian infrastructure and specified that there were no injured civilians.

On 12 December, fighters from the Freedom of Russia Legion destroyed the Murom-P long-range visual reconnaissance complex in Russia’s Belgorod Oblast. They did this using a drone. The legion has already conducted several raids in Russian regions bordering Ukraine.
