Russian forces launched an armoured ground attack on #Ukraine's northeastern #Kharkiv region early on Friday, advancing 1 km (0.6 mile) near the border town of #Vovchansk in an effort to create a buffer zone, a senior Ukrainian military source said.
The assault opens a new front in the war more than two years since #Russia's full-scale invasion. Fighting in the border areas of the Kharkiv region continued and Kyiv has sent more forces to the area as reinforcements.
