UN ‘concerned’ over Ukrainian attack on Belgorod

"The United Nations has voiced concerns over a recent cross-border attack on Russia’s
Belgorod Region, while saying it was unable to confirm who carried out the operation. Russian officials have condemned the incursion as a “terrorist act” organized by Kiev to divert attention from its battlefield failures.
Asked about this week’s border raid during a Tuesday press briefing, a representative for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the agency was aware of the incident, urging all parties to avoid any further escalation.
The Russian Defense Ministry said on Tuesday that the incursion was repelled, with at least 70 Ukrainian militants killed, and several armored vehicles and pickup trucks destroyed in the process." RT
