Russian sabotage group attempted to breach the border in Kharkiv region.

On the night of November 24 to 25, a group of Russian saboteurs attempted to infiltrate the border of the Kharkiv region near Kozacha Lopan. This was reported by the head of the Derhachi military administration, Vyacheslav Zadorenko.

Zadorenko stated that the attack occurred in the area of the Hoptivka - Nekhotiyivka checkpoint, but Ukrainian defenders managed to stop it. Some of the saboteurs were neutralized, while the rest fled back to the Belgorod region.

“From Time to time, the enemy tries to 'probe' the positions of the Ukrainian defenders by sending in their saboteurs, so this event is only a testament to the strength of our defense and the coordinated actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to eliminate the occupiers,” noted Zadorenko.

Zadorenko also emphasized that Russian troops are not actively advancing in the Derhachi direction, and no significant number of Russian troops has been spotted at the border.
