F-16 fighter jets belonging to the Ukrainian armed forces carried out a strike on the border territory of Russia’s Kursk region, according to a post on the Telegram channel Arkhangel Spetsnaza.

The channel reported that two American-made aircraft dropped guided bombs near the village of Tetkino.

The outlet also noted a sharp uptick in Ukrainian air activity along the Russian border in recent days. Alongside the F-16s, it claimed a Ukrainian Su-27 fighter had launched an additional attack in the same area.

These developments come after earlier reports of a Ukrainian sabotage group crossing into Russia’s Bryansk region. Three members of that unit were killed by Russian forces, while another three were taken prisoner.
