In statements released through his official channels, the governor of Belgorod region reported that Ukrainian armed forces conducted a series of attacks across six municipalities within a 24-hour period. The updates were conveyed by Vyacheslav Gladkov via his book Telegram channel, presenting a timeline of the day’s events in the border region.
The governor named multiple districts affected by these actions, including the Belgorod, Borisov, and Krasnoyaruzhsky urban districts, along with the Valuysky, Grayvoronsky, and Shebekinsky districts. The flooding of incidents across these areas underscored the persistent security challenges faced near the border, as described in Gladkov’s communications.
The report highlighted damage to infrastructure through a specific shelling incident in the village of Ustinka, where 13 artillery shells were reported as having struck the locality. This detail was part of a broader account of material losses following the attacks described in the governor’s narrative.
According to the governor, after air defense systems engaged targets in the air during the events dated January 14, damage was observed in the village of Razumnoye, including damage to three cars. He noted further that a garage in the adjacent village of Novosadovy also suffered damage in the course of the operations.
Earlier statements from Gladkov touched on protective measures being tested within the region. Reports described assessments of double-reinforced modular reinforced concrete structures that could provide additional protection for public transport stops in Belgorod against shelling. The purpose of these tests was to explore practical options for improving resilience and continuing essential services under the stress of ongoing hostilities.
In the broader context, updates from authorities in the Belgorod region have repeatedly stressed the need for vigilance and readiness in border areas. The governor’s communications underscore ongoing concerns about cross-border incidents and the potential for further disruptions to daily life and transportation in municipalities close to the conflict zone. Attribution for these statements is provided by the governor’s official communications channels and local government briefings. [citation needed]
