Earlier in the day, reports from Gladkov described bombardment affecting several villages within the Shebekinsky urban district, with no injuries reported at that time. An unexploded shell reportedly landed at an industrial facility in the village of Novaya Tavolzhanka, and on-site teams carried out clearance operations to remove the danger and begin site documentation.

Additionally, the Belgorod region authorities later provided footage showing the damage caused by the strike on Bezlyudovka, where additional injuries were reported and two people were transported to hospitals for treatment.

Throughout the day, regional leaders stressed the importance of rapid demining and careful verification of all affected areas to prevent further harm.
