Footage posted online shows heavily damaged Russian convoy

By Richard Irvine-Brown

BBC Verify has examined two videos of separate events on either side of the Ukraine-Russia border, following Ukraine’s military incursion into Russia’s Kursk region.

We have verified a video of a 15-vehicle Russian convoy, damaged, burned and abandoned in Kursk, Russia.

The convoy video was filmed around 06:00 local time, as seen from the direction and length of the shadows, and first appeared online this morning. The weather is also a match for early morning over the town.

The footage also shows Russian soldiers, some injured, possibly dead among the vehicles. It was filmed along the E38 road through the town of Oktyabr'skoe, roughly 38km (24 miles) from Russian's southern border with Ukraine.

The video has not been sent to the BBC directly, but it has been shared widely on social media and the Telegram messaging app.

The uploader of the video has been detained.
