The Belgorod region’s governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, reported that an operational group, led by the regional security department chief Yevgeny Vorobyov, has been able to evacuate roughly one hundred civilians from the communities of Glotov and Kozinki since yesterday. The governor shared the update through his official telegraph channel, noting that the evacuation included people with mobility challenges and children among the evacuees.
According to the district administration, the evacuation efforts continue in the areas that have been liberated from active fighting. In one ongoing operation, a wounded resident from the village of Kozinka was pulled to safety. Medical authorities described the injuries as shrapnel wounds to the left shoulder and lumbar area, along with a fracture to the humerus. The patient is reported to be in moderate condition and receiving full medical care on site as needed.
Earlier updates from Governor Gladkov indicated that fighting-related injuries were registered in the Belgorod region, with a total count of twelve injured individuals reported at that time.
Earlier statements noted that Ukrainian saboteur activity in the Kozinka area prompted security considerations near the border. Reports indicated ongoing security operations in response to perceived threats from saboteurs, with security forces reporting progress in the border zone.
In related developments, regional air defense units continue to respond to reconnaissance aircraft activity observed as part of military reconnaissance efforts by Ukrainian forces. The ongoing measures focus on protecting populated areas and supporting field operations as the situation evolves.
