Quote from SOF: "The enemy propaganda is once again trying to go for wishful thinking, claiming a "breakthrough across the border in Sumy Oblast and the capture of a border village". In fact, it was an attempt by an enemy SRG to cross the Ukrainian border, which was stopped by Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on 10 December."

Details: The SOF operators detected a group of Russian saboteurs and tracked their route. At the same time, the SOF destroyed some of the group with accurate drone attacks and ambushed them.

The remaining Russian soldiers were forced to flee back to Russia. At the same time, the SOF said that their operators caught up with the Russians and had them killed.
