In a recent briefing, the Belgorod region’s governor Vyacheslav Gladkov reported via his Telegram channel that seven settlements there lost electricity following a Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle attack. The governor specified that four explosive devices were dropped by the drone and that the incident did not result in any loss of life, though it caused damage to power lines serving the area. The affected communities were Yasnye Zori, Cheremoshnoye, Ustinka, Lozovoye, Rovenek, Petrovka, and Solovyovka, all of which faced outages as a consequence of the blast and subsequent electrical infrastructure disruption.
Earlier reports from the Kursk region indicated that local authorities confirmed the downing of a Ukrainian drone in the Fatezh area, with the Russian air defense system credited for intercepting the aerial threat. The update highlighted ongoing concerns about drone activity near regional borders and the steps being taken to monitor and respond to incursions.
As the Kursk region continued its recovery efforts, the governor Roman Starovoit provided an update stating that civilian infrastructure damages were being repaired after shelling attributed to Ukrainian forces. By mid-March, efforts had secured substantial progress, with more than 900 residential structures undergoing repairs as part of restoration work to restore essential services and housing stability for affected residents.
At the end of February, the head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, reiterated claims that civilian targets were deliberately selected by Ukrainian forces in Belgorod. He recalled prior incidents when the center of Belgorod and other urban areas faced bombardment, underscoring a pattern of attacks that prompted renewed calls for vigilance and accountability.
Overall, the region has faced multiple rounds of aerial and artillery pressure attributed to hostilities involving Ukrainian armed forces. Local authorities have documented repeated incidents affecting civilian neighborhoods, energy infrastructure, and public safety, while emphasizing the ongoing need for rapid repair work, enhanced protective measures, and clear communication with residents during periods of heightened risk.
