The Bryansk region reported new shelling events linked to Ukraine’s armed forces, focusing on the center of the village of Sushany. Regional leader Alexander Bogomaz shared the update via his Telegram channel, describing the incident as a terrorist strike against a densely populated civilian area.
According to Bogomaz, no injuries were recorded, but the bombardment caused a partial power outage and disrupted essential services in the village. He added that emergency responders and operational teams have been deployed to assess damage and restore utility service as rapidly as possible.
Earlier, Vyacheslav Gladkov, the Belgorod region governor, said Ukrainian armed forces used unmanned aerial vehicles to strike the city of Gubkin. He reported damage to four private homes, with broken windows and damaged roofs, façades, and fences. Gladkov noted that relevant authorities would increase patrols in daylight hours to secure affected neighbourhoods.
In related diplomatic commentary, Gennady Gatilov, Russia’s former permanent representative to the UN in Geneva, described the reaction from the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to the shelling in Russian regions as an “answer.”
On a broader note, reports indicated that the Ukrainian armed forces fired shots at locations within the DPR region as part of ongoing hostilities, with the cadence of incidents described as high during a recent period.
