JAKARTA - Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said it had opened criminal cases against 14 foreign journalists since August 17 because it illegally crossed the border between Ukraine and the Kursk region in Russia.
The FSB said in a statement that the latest journalists investigated came from France 24 and CH Media Switzerland, reported by Reuters, Monday, October 7.
Ukraine in August launched a surprise attack on the Kursk region, capturing territory around the border town of Sudzha, which was Ukraine's first seizure of Russian territory since the outbreak of the war.
Several foreign journalists have visited Ukrainian-controlled territory since a team from the Italian government broadcaster, RAI, made their first visit in mid-August.
Crossing borders illegally can be sentenced to up to five years in prison, under Russian law.
