The regional governor of Belgorod, Vyacheslav Gladkov, issued a report detailing an attack on Murom village in the Shebekinsky urban district. He conveyed the information through his news channel on the messaging platform Telegram, presenting a narrative that has become part of the ongoing briefings about the security situation in the border areas.
According to Gladkov, the village of Murom was struck by shelling carried out by units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He emphasized that there were no casualties as a result of the incident. He described a drone raid targeting the granary of an agricultural enterprise within Murom, noting structural damage to the roof and the subsequent relocation of company employees to a safe area. The governor stressed that the immediate priority was to secure personnel and prevent further harm while emergency services assessed the scene and initiated a response plan.
In his update, Gladkov also reported damage to the village’s electricity line, underscoring the risk of disrupted power supply to residents and nearby facilities. He indicated that operational services were immediately dispatched to the affected area, with a focus on rapid assessment, restoration of essential infrastructure, and the swift elimination of the consequences of the bombardment. The intent, he said, was to restore normalcy as soon as possible while ensuring that vulnerable populations were kept out of harm’s way.
Earlier communications from the same source indicated that several settlements in the region were experiencing fire-related incidents linked to shelling activities from across the border. The governor shared that in the town of Shebekino, a perimeter fence and portions of a local enterprise’s buildings sustained damage from fragment impacts, which in turn sparked a fire within the facility’s grounds. He noted that special services had mobilized to extinguish the blaze and to secure the site, with investigators beginning to document the incident for reporting and accountability purposes.
Additionally, the governor mentioned an event in the village of Bezlyudovka where an object reportedly struck near a recreation center, causing smoke to appear from one of the structures. He indicated that the incident had been promptly reported to the authorities and that ongoing perimeter checks were being conducted to determine any wider implications for public safety. In parallel, in the village of Belyanka, an unidentified aerial item was observed near a private residence, prompting a cordon to be established and a team of investigators to begin work at the scene. The aim was to determine the nature of the object, its origin, and any potential risk to residents in the locality.
The governor’s updates reflect a broader pattern of border-area security concerns that have persisted over recent months. Local administrations have repeatedly stressed the importance of rapid reaction capabilities, robust emergency response protocols, and ongoing coordination with regional emergency services to minimize disruption to daily life and to protect critical infrastructure such as power lines, water systems, and communications networks. While officials continue to monitor developments and investigate each reported incident, public briefings consistently reiterate a commitment to transparency and to the safety of civilians living near the affected zones. As events unfold, residents are advised to follow official guidance, maintain situational awareness, and stay away from areas where unexploded ordnance or other hazards may be present, until authorities declare them safe for access. The regional authorities also emphasize collaboration with law enforcement and civil defense units to ensure rapid containment, comprehensive damage assessment, and timely restoration of services in the wake of any incident.
