CORRECTED-Situation in Russia's Belgorod region 'under control' after attempted Ukrainian incursion, RIA reports
MOSCOW, April 4 (Reuters) - The situation in Russia's Belgorod region is "under control" after the Ukrainian army tried to break through the border a fortnight ago, Russian commander Apti Alaudinov was quoted by the state RIA news agency as saying on Friday.
Just as Ukrainian forces are battling to keep their grip on a sliver of Russia's Kursk region they captured last year, they have tried to stage a little-publicised incursion into the adjacent Belgorod region, according to Russian military bloggers.
RIA cited Alaudinov as saying that Russian forces were "clearing areas" of Ukrainian troops, but that they had not succeeded in their aim of carving out a meaningful foothold in Belgorod and were suffering heavy losses.
Reuters could not independently verify the battlefield report.
