BBC World Service - Newshour, Russia says it has killed dozens of anti-Putin insurgents

Russia claims fighters from a Ukriane-based anti-Putin militia have been 'defeated'

Armed insurgents who crossed the border from Ukraine to launch attacks in Russia's Belgorod region have been defeated, Moscow claims.

The Russian government has said that armed insurgents who crossed the border from Ukraine to launch attacks in Russia's Belgorod region have been defeated.

Russia says 70 attackers were killed and insists the fighters are Ukrainian. But Kyiv has denied involvement and two Russian paramilitary groups have said they were behind the incursion.
