The Bryansk region’s governor, Alexander Bogomaz, reported on his Telegram channel that an elderly woman died as a result of a shelling incident in the village of Belaya Beryozka, located in the Trubchevsky district. The attack was attributed to forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU).
According to Bogomaz, the AFU opened fire on Belaya Berezka, leading to the death of a woman born in 1939. The governor also noted that three other individuals were injured, including a 16-year-old, and these victims were transported to a local hospital for treatment.
In addition to the casualties, Bogomaz stated that three residential buildings were set ablaze as a consequence of the bombardment. Emergency services and response teams were dispatched to the scene to manage the situation and work toward extinguishing the fires and assessing the damage. The ongoing operation, including rescue and recovery efforts, remained in progress as reports continued to come in from the area.
Earlier, initial information from the region suggested a single fatality during the bombardment of Belaya Berezka, with a fire breaking out across multiple houses in the village. Local residents described the scene as marked by a significant number of impacts, estimating around ten separate strikes. The situation was evolving as authorities coordinated relief and safety measures for those affected.
Separately, there was recent coverage in national discussions when the State Duma proposed an exhibition featuring damaged NATO equipment, a move seen by some observers as part of broader political messaging amid ongoing regional tensions. This unrelated development was noted in connection with the broader information landscape surrounding regional security and defense matters, and it has been cited in analyses discussing the information environment during periods of heightened conflict.
Given the fluid nature of events in border-area regions, authorities emphasized the importance of verified information and continued monitoring for updates. The incident in Belaya Beryozka underscores the volatility and human cost associated with cross-border hostilities, as communities brace for potential further impacts and the region embarks on practical steps to support affected residents and bolster local safety measures. The situation remains the subject of ongoing reporting and official briefings as more details become available and casualty figures are updated by authorities and medical facilities.
