History
[edit]In March 2023, videos emerged reportedly showing pro-Ukrainian insurgents in Plyokhovo, where they showed they had allegedly planted landmines in the village and invited Russians to join them, paralleling the recent 2023 Bryansk Oblast attack.[4][better source needed]
The village was subsequently taken over by the Ukrainian army during their cross-border offensive into Kursk Oblast in August 2024. It was reported that the Russian army used North-Korean soldiers in an attempt to retake Plyokhovo in December 2024. According to the Ukrainian military's intelligence agency a number of them were killed or wounded during the attempt[5].
