In the first explosion in the last video, the grenade landed right on the top of the middle guy's dome! Notice how far his helmet ends up flying through the air.

Three Ukraine-based Russian paramilitary groups say they have crossed into Russia and are now fighting government troops there.

The Freedom of Russia Legion (FRL) and Siberian Battalion (SB) posted videos purportedly showing their fighters in Russia's Belgorod and Kursk regions.

The FRL and an exiled Russian politician claimed two villages were now in control of "liberation forces".

Russia's defence ministry said the breakthrough attempts were thwarted.

Ukraine's military denied any involvement in Tuesday's cross-border raids. Andriy Yusov, a spokesman for the country's military intelligence, said the paramilitary groups were "independent organisations" of Russian nationals, and therefore operating "at home".

In a separate development, Russia said Ukraine had launched 25 drones on targets across Russia, but the attack was thwarted.

However, videos have emerged which appear to show several Russian oil facilities on fire.

In the Ivanovo region, just east of Moscow, an Il-76 military-transport plane with eight crew and seven passengers crashed shortly after take-off, Russia's defence ministry was quoted as saying by Russian state-run news agencies.

The ministry said an engine fire caused the crash. It gave no details of survivors.

Videos have emerged purportedly showing the plane on fire circling in the sky, and later plumes of black smoke from the crash site.

A full-scale invasion of Ukraine launched by Russian President Vladimir Putin is now in its third year, with no signs that the biggest war in Europe since World War Two could end soon.

"The night will not be easy for the residents of the Kursk region", - representative of the "Freedom of Russia" legion Aleksey Baranovsky stated that the village of Tyotkine remains under the control of the Legion.

1. Siberian Battalion publishes footage of the landing battle and the breakdown of the positions Russian soldiers on their territory.

2. Legion "Freedom of Russia" published this morning damage to the Russian company stronghold in Tyotkino.

3. Freedom of Russia Legion raises the flag over Moscow.

4. A tank of the Russian Volunteer Corps firing towards Russian positions. The EU flag on the top of the tank.

5. More footage of the "Freedom of Russia" legion advancing around Belgorod.

6. During the night and morning the Belgorod, Oryol, Nizhny Novgorod, Kursk, Voronezh, Tula, Bryansk, Leningrad and Moscow regions were attacked.

In two regions - Oryol and Nizhny Novgorod - attacks hit an oil plant and a fuel tank farm.

A Russian military transport plane caught fire and crashed in the Ivanovo region northeast of Moscow, Russia's Defense Ministry said Tuesday.

Footage circulating on social media showed the IL-76 aircraft descending toward the ground with one of its engines on fire. Other footage showed a column of black smoke rising from the crash site.

"At about 1:00 p.m. Moscow time, an IL-76 military transport aircraft crashed during takeoff for a scheduled flight in the Ivanovo region," the Defense Ministry was quoted as saying by the state-run TASS news agency.

Eight crew members and seven passengers were said to have been on board the aircraft.

"According to reports from the scene, the cause of the disaster was a fire in one of the engines during takeoff of the aircraft," the Defense Ministry added.

It did not say if there were any casualties.

TASS, citing an anonymous emergency service official, reported that all 15 people on board the plane were believed to have died.

The crash comes weeks after an IL-76 plane that Moscow claimed had been carrying 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war crashed in a Russian region bordering Ukraine.

The Ivanovo region is located more than 700 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.

According to russian sources, the passengers of the crashed Il-76 were operators of the A-50 AWACS, since the Severny airfield in Ivanovo is the location of the A-50 aircraft.

*ALL RUSSIAN SOURCED MEDIA*

Disclaimer: In the interest of presenting both sides of this conflict, I will be posting Russian sourced footage as well as getting caught up on hashtagging footage posted while I was on break.

In my experience, Russian sourced media is much trickier to verify/validate than Ukrainian sourced media. I do my best to determine the validity of anything I post, but sometimes it's a crap shoot.

1. "Artillerymen of the 138th brigade dealt with an enemy D-30 howitzer in the Kupyansk direction"

2. "The work of the BMP-3 against the enemy's support, Zaporozhye Front, 4th company, SAHARA battalion, 429th regiment.

During operation, the 30mm cannon jammed, and a hand-held smoke grenade was thrown from the ground under the vehicle for camouflage. The problem was fixed on the spot and work continued"

3. "The destruction of a tank by a crew of the Lancet loitering ammunition in the area of Chasov Yar" Potato quality.

2. "In this video you can watch greetings from the Russian Aerospace Forces or the arrival of the heaviest glide bomb - the one and a half ton FAB-1500-M54 UMPC - to one of the deployment points in Orekhovo."

3. "Combat work of Russian T-80BVM in the Donetsk direction"
