The Russian army on Saturday said it had "eliminated" some 150 Ukrainian soldiers who tried to cross the Dnipro river into Russian-occupied territory a day after Moscow admitted "sabotage" groups were operating around the river.
"Russian military personnel eliminated an enemy detachment of about 150 people who were trying to gain a foothold on the left bank of the Dnipro river," Moscow's forces said.
