In the last 24 hours, officials reported renewed shelling and drone activity in the Belgorod region. A public statement from regional authorities outlined several incidents and the evolving response. The source of the information is a post shared on a gubernatorial communication channel, with officials detailing the day’s events and subsequent plans.
According to the report, there were nine separate bombardment events within a one-day period. The incidents targeted multiple locations, including Novaya Tavolzhanka, Sereda, and Murom, alongside the Maryino farm. Across these sites, forces deployed aerial drones and mortar fire, demonstrating a persistent level of aggression along the border areas. The nature of the attacks points to coordinated activity intended to disrupt daily life and raise tensions in nearby communities.
In addition to the drone strikes, the outskirts of the village of Stary experienced bombardments using grenade launchers. Further to the west, kamikaze drones were employed against the settlements of Antonovka in the Grayvoronsky urban district and Grafovka in the Krasnoyaruzhsky district. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles, including suicide drones, underscores a shift toward tactics designed to maximize impact with minimal risk to operators on the ground.
Officials stressed that there were no reported fatalities as a result of these attacks, though the possibility of injuries or property damage remains a concern for residents and local authorities. The absence of casualties at this time was noted as a relief amidst a sequence of hostile actions, yet the risk to civilians and critical infrastructure persists and continues to be monitored by regional services.
Earlier in the day, the regional leadership announced that residents in Streletskoye were evacuated from certain streets after authorities detected an unexploded shell in the area. The evacuation underscores ongoing precautionary measures as the situation unfolds. Specialists from the Russian Ministry of Defense and other emergency services are coordinating to assess the device and determine a safe method for its disposal, ensuring that the risk to nearby homes and streets is minimized.
Officials emphasized that once all residents have safely left the affected zone, explosive ordnance specialists will evaluate the ammunition and decide the safest approach for its destruction. This process involves careful on-site assessment to prevent secondary incidents and to restore a sense of security for the broader community as quickly as possible.
Video footage captured moments of impact in Belgorod’s central district, illustrating the intensity of the day’s events. Local authorities are continuing to monitor developments, assess damage, and coordinate relief and security measures for affected neighborhoods. In the days ahead, government agencies and emergency services are expected to provide updates on the security situation, the status of evacuations, and any necessary support for residents returning to their homes.
