A regional update from Belgorod confirms that a woman and her 16-year-old daughter were injured during shelling attributed to Ukrainian forces in the village of Novaya Tavolzhanka, Belgorod region. The disclosure came from Vyacheslav Gladkov, the region’s governor, via his Telegram channel.
The governor stated that a direct hit on a private residence left two residents hurt. The mother and her 16-year-old daughter were immediate victims of the attack, which targeted the home’s structure and surrounding property.
The teenager sustained a closed fracture to the left forearm along with bruising to the soft tissues of the right foot. She was promptly transported to the regional clinical hospital for evaluation and treatment. Medical staff assessed her condition as moderate but stable, and a plan for ongoing care was established as needed.
The mother suffered a leg laceration. Paramedics provided on-site care, and she declined transport to the hospital, choosing to remain where she was. The incident left the second floor of the house severely damaged, with broken windows, a damaged facade, and damage extending to the yard fence and a car parked nearby.
In related remarks, regional authorities noted earlier that Ukrainian forces conducted drone strikes on three Belgorod villages. The updates reflect ongoing tensions in border areas and emphasize the impact on civilians and housing in affected communities.
During a recent incident in which Gladkov was jogging, he reported being under fire from Ukrainian forces. The statement underscores the ongoing security challenges faced by residents in the Belgorod region and the importance of immediate medical and protective responses for those affected.
Overall, the situation in Belgorod remains tense, with local authorities continuing to monitor incidents, provide emergency assistance to injured residents, and document damage to property and infrastructure. The public briefings, attributed to regional leadership, help convey the human impact of the hostilities and the steps being taken to safeguard communities in border districts.
