Vladimir Putin has desperately sent troops to repel hundreds of soldiers, tanks and armoured vehicles that have stormed across Russia's border in what Moscow claimed was a Ukrainian attack.
Moscow's defence ministry said it has rushed troops and aviation units to the southwestern region after Ukrainian units allegedly tried to attack Russian positions just inside the border, according to Russian officials.
'Border defence troops, together with military units of the FSB border force, are repelling attacks and inflicting fire damage on the enemy,' the defence ministry said in a statement Tuesday.
Russia claims Ukraine launched the foray early this morning with as many as 300 troops, 11 tanks and more than 20 armoured combat vehicles, claiming to have struck back with airstrikes.
Intense footage appeared to show explosions hitting the ground from a driver's window some eight miles inside the Russian border today.
Another clip showed a fighter jet tearing through the sky towards black smoke billowing up ahead. The plumes appeared to be coming from the shell of a burnt out lorry in the road.
The Russian governor of the Kursk region said three people had been killed by Ukrainian forces throughout the day - a woman in the attempted border incursion and two people whose vehicles were hit in separate drone attacks.
'The situation in the border area remains difficult, but our defenders are successfully working to destroy the enemy,' Alexei Smirnov added.
In a series of updates on social media, Smirnov said two Russian civilians had been killed, one by shelling and the other by a drone, and 18 others were wounded.
The defence ministry said the attack was focused on the settlements of Nikolaevo-Darino and Oleshnya - just across from Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region.

FSB blew her up for embezzlement.
Is that what the Ukrainians told you? lol
Captured troops slinging their weapons???
Nope... I posted a photo of Russian troops heading off to be fodder for Putin, and they don’t even have helmets... Not that they’ll need them.
The only fodder are the poor Ukrainians. And they definitely do not need helmets either with 6,000 lb bombs floating in on them.
Can you be anymore hypocritical?
How many Ukrainians died in this useless stunt?
How many more days before Ukraine surrenders? That is the only relevant question.
Hmmmm....Kazan....A Russian name....Posting pro-Russian material.
As Gomer would say: “Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!”
clown.
You insult people childishly for posting an article and then when you’re asked to be polite and say something meaningful
You answer with another insult
Seems you have absolutely nothing above third grade level.
Why would people let you tell them what is “the only meaningful question”?
Seems a little crazy to me.
Don’t you see that you are addressing God himself and he has all the ultimate questions and answers?
Why do you even try to argue with the infinite?
/s
Excuse me if I don't take you and your pals seriously.
Even more hypocritical... A person who pretends to believe in a ‘Free Republic’ supporting a communist loving dictator like Putin.
We have more important things to discuss. Get lost.
No I believe in dead Russians.
Did the Easter Bunny kill them or was it Santa?
That's because you're a blood-dancing POC - no different than the Lefties who pour out of their clown cars whenever there's a mass shooting in the US.
So gerlost, Gerlost.
