MOSCOW (Reuters) -The head of Russia's western Belgorod region said the situation on the border with Ukraine was "difficult but under control" after reports of a Ukrainian attack on Tuesday.

Belgorod and other border areas have been on high alert since Ukraine launched a lightning attack on neighbouring Kursk region three weeks ago and carved out a slice of territory from which Russia is still fighting to eject it.
