   Russia has claimed it destroyed two Ukrainian military vehicles straying   
   into its territory, killing five people, in an unconfirmed incident that   
   would be the first direct clash with Ukrainian forces since Moscow   
   mobilised 190,000 troops on its border.   
      
   The army’s southern military district said in a statement that a   
   “diversionary reconnaissance group” was discovered at 6am on Monday near   
   the border village of Mityakinskaya and claimed that Ukraine sent two   
   infantry fighting vehicles to “evacuate them from the battlefield”.   
      
   Russian forces “destroyed both Ukrainian fighting vehicles with anti-tank   
   weapons”, it added. “As a result of the clashes, five members of the   
   diversionary reconnaissance group who violated the border of the Russian   
   Federation were destroyed,” the statement said, adding that no Russians   
   were hurt in the fighting. Russia did not provide any evidence to support   
   its claims.
