Vyacheslav Gladkov, head of the Belgorod region, released updates via his official telegraph channel noting that Vyazovoe, a village in Krasnoyaruzhsky district, came under fire. He stated there were no casualties, though the incident damaged a private residence with shattered windows and damaged its facade and fence, and the local power line was also affected. The report described the event as an artillery or small-arms strike that disrupted the village’s daily life and raised concerns about infrastructure safety in the border area. [citation needed]
The same communication from Gladkov described damage in Murom, a village within the Shebekinsky urban district, caused by actions from Ukrainian forces. No injuries were reported, but two private homes sustained damage. Shell fragments reportedly shattered windows and damaged the roofs, and a vehicle also suffered issues as a result of the shelling. The account emphasizes the strain on civilian households and the importance of protective measures for residents in border communities. [citation needed]
On December 29, regional authorities reported drone activity across several Russian regions, including Bryansk, Belgorod, and Saratov. Air defense systems reportedly engaged targets as they approached, intercepting multiple aircraft. The brief updates underscore ongoing security challenges in the region and the role of defense capabilities in maintaining civilian safety during heightened aerial activity. [citation needed]
