Russia's defence ministry said it had Saturday thwarted more Ukrainian attacks on the Belgorod border region which the Kremlin says are aimed at disrupting an ongoing three-day presidential election.
"Attacks were repelled and attempts to infiltrate into the territory of the Russian Federation by Ukrainian militant sabotage and reconnaissance groups ... were foiled," the ministry said in a statement.
