Russian President Vladimir Putin has said a Ukrainian sabotage group entered a Russian border region and opened fire on civilians in a "terrorist act".
The governor of Bryansk region said "saboteurs from Ukraine" had fired at a civilian car in Lyubechane, a border village, killing two men and wounding a 10-year-old boy on Thursday.
Kyiv has strongly denied the Russian claim. Mykhaylo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, tweeted that it was "a classic deliberate provocation".

Protesters have clashed with police in Georgia's capital, Tbilisi, after parliament backed a controversial draft law, the new "transparency of foreign influence" bill.
The draft legislation would require non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and independent media who receive more than 20% of their funding from abroad to declare themselves as foreign agents.
Critics of the bill said that it limits press freedom and suppresses civil society.
Riot police used water cannon and pepper spray to disperse the crowds gathered outside the parliament building.
Some protesters were seen falling on the ground and coughing, while others waved EU and Georgian flags.
