In the village of Zhuravlevka within Belgorod, authorities confirmed that a drone released a fragment or grenade during a flight. The impact site was promptly secured, and there were no reported casualties or injuries among residents or responders.
Within the Krasnoyaruzhsky district, an unidentified explosive device was dropped from a drone, triggering a security response that is standard for such threats. A Ukrainian unmanned aircraft operating in the Shebekinsky district was intercepted and shot down by air defense forces in accordance with established procedures.
