Russian authorities in the Lipetsk region south of Moscow said they tightened security measures early Saturday, after the chief of Russia's Wagner private military group said his forces had crossed the border from Ukraine.

"A decision has been taken to reinforce security measures in the region," said Governor Igor Artamonov. "I ask everyone to remain calm."

The region of Lipetsk is located around 400 kilometers south of Moscow.
