3 HUR fighters wounded in Kyiv shootout, 1 seriously, RDK deputy commander says

Three fighters from Ukraine's Defense Intelligence (HUR) unit were wounded during a recent shootout in Kyiv involving Ukraine's SBU Security Service and HUR personnel, with one seriously injured, according to Stepan Kaplunov, deputy commander of the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK) for combat operations. Kaplunov recounted the search of his apartment and the ensuing gunfire, stating that his unit was providing security during the search to ensure no incidents occurred.

He added that he remained inside the apartment throughout the exchange of gunfire. The SBU claimed Kaplunov was planning to assassinate a Russian opposition figure, but he denies any collaboration with Russian intelligence agencies, asserting that he confessed to such communications under psychological pressure. The deputy commander of the RDK maintains that Ukraine's Security Service attempted to discredit his unit, and President Zelenskyy called for a thorough investigation, stating that internal investigations should be conducted within both agencies.
