On the morning of March 2, the governor of the Bryansk region reported that Ukrainian saboteurs entered the region and fired on a car in the village of Lyubechany. Information about the bombing of a school bus and the taking of hostages appeared in telegram channels and the media. Later, these data were not confirmed.
