Ukraine said it hit a drone command unit in the Kursk region, amid reports of fresh attempts to cross into Russia.
Sunday's attack on the unit was located near the Russian village of Tyotkino, according to the Ukrainian general staff.
Multiple Russian military bloggers also reported that Ukrainian forces had attempted to cross into the village, posting images - as yet unverified by the BBC - of vehicles breaking through tank traps on the border.
The reports come after Moscow claimed in April to have regained control of the entire region, nine months after a Ukrainian forces launched a surprise invasion. Kyiv insists it still has soldiers operating across the border.
On Monday, Ukrainian forces fired missiles over the border and crossed minefields in special vehicles, according to the bloggers.
"The enemy blew up bridges with rockets at night and launched an attack with armoured groups in the morning," blogger RVvoenkor said according to Reuters news agency.
"The mine clearance vehicles began to make passages in the minefields, followed by armoured vehicles with troops. There is a heavy battle going on at the border."

Now they seem to be doubling down on failure
This will not end well.
It’s hilarious to see Putin’s regime building a border with Ukraine after destroying it previously.
Geez...how stupid are there...What do they hope to gain...a bargaining chip....lol
There goes them damn Ukies again. Always starting trouble.
Maybe this incursion will be more successful than the last disaster
Lol!
More farmland and villages captured. On to Moscow.

It was far from a mistake with Ukraine seizing the initiative, capturing significant territory (up to 1,250 km² at its peak) and holding the Sudzha pocket for seven months,disrupting Russian plans, preventing a Russian offensive into Ukraine’s Sumy Oblast and forcing Russia to divert elite units from Donbas to Kursk.
The operation humiliated the Kremlin, exposing vulnerabilities in Russia’s border defenses—the first foreign invasion of Russian soil since World War II. This dented Putin’s strongman image and shifted the global narrative from Ukrainian retreat to audacious offense.
The operation achieved some of its aims: boosting morale, diverting Russian resources, and shifting the war’s narrative.
Any statistics to back it up ?
Estimates loss of 20,000-25,000 of Ukraine's best troops, approx 800 mechanized assets, vehicles and field artillery plus huge amounts of weapons, ammunition and supplies. Despite the vast expenditures of resources the Ukraine has been driven out of Russia.
It was kind of a rout.
The Ukrainian troops abandoned most of their assets in Kursk and those that got out were lucky to get away with their lives.
The diversion of resources to the Kursk operation has allowed Russia to expand and consolidate it's control of territory in Ukraine.
The massing of Russian troops in the Kursk region has opened another front in the war in the Ukraine which is diverting badly needed Ukrainian resources to defend that region.
So which units were destroyed ?
“The Ukrainian troops abandoned most of their assets in Kursk”
Such as ?
“The diversion of resources to the Kursk operation has allowed Russia to expand and consolidate it's control of territory in Ukraine.”
So what's the size of that territory ?
