The Belgorod region’s governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, reported via his telegraph channel that a Ministry of Defense aircraft crashed in the Valuysky urban district. He stated that an investigative team and Emergency Ministry personnel were dispatched to the scene to document the incident and assess the situation on the ground.
Gladkov emphasized that officials are actively examining the causes of the crash. He added that authorities have the situation under control and are coordinating with federal agencies as the investigation proceeds.
Details about the aircraft model were not initially disclosed. According to a statement attributed to law enforcement sources carried by TASS, the downed aircraft is identified as a Su-24 tactical front-line bomber. The report also noted that the pilot managed to eject from the plane before it crashed on the village outskirts, subject to verification by the investigative authorities.
On the evening of February 22, regional authorities in Belgorod announced that the city of Shebekino had come under shelling by armed forces of Ukraine. The blasts damaged three homes and shattered several windows, prompting emergency responders to visit affected households and assess safety conditions for residents.
Local officials have urged residents to remain vigilant and to follow official advisories as investigators work to determine the sequence of events and any contributing factors. The incident is being reviewed in coordination with federal security agencies, and updates are expected as new information becomes available.
Experts in aviation safety note that investigations typically involve a thorough analysis of flight records, weather conditions, air traffic control communications, and the structural integrity and maintenance history of the aircraft. In parallel, emergency teams will establish a perimeter, secure the crash site, collect evidence, and support any injured individuals and their families. Authorities often release preliminary findings to the public while the full report is compiled, which can take time given the complexity and sensitivity of such events.
Residents and observers express concern about the impact of the incident on regional security and daily life. Officials have reassured the public that protective measures are in place and that authorities are working to minimize disruption while ensuring a transparent and complete investigation. The broader regional response includes continued monitoring of safety conditions, rapid medical response readiness, and ongoing coordination with national emergency management bodies to handle any subsequent developments.
