Anti-Putin Militia Seizes Russian Border Village

The Freedom of Russia Legion, an anti-Kremlin militia, claimed to have overrun a Russian border village and sent units into a town in Russia's Belgorod region. The Russian Volunteer Corps also said it participated in the raid. Fighting broke out along the Russian border with Ukraine, and casualties have been reported. The chaos in the Belgorod region prompted local authorities to announce a "counterterrorist regime." Both Russia and Ukraine have confirmed fighting at the border, but any capture of territory has not been independently confirmed.
