The Belgorod region has reported injuries following shelling attributed to Ukrainian forces, according to regional authorities. The governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, shared the update through his official channel, noting that air defenses activated over Belgorod and the broader region were engaged as the incident unfolded.
In the city itself, Gladkov said ten air targets were intercepted as they approached. Preliminary information indicated that a woman sustained injuries; her home caught fire as a result of the bombardment. The governor described the injuries as second-degree burns on her hand and added that medical teams provided on-site care, with hospital treatment not required at that time.
Earlier, authorities reported an attack on a vehicle traveling along a road within the Shebekinsky urban district. The incident occurred on a stretch of highway between the villages of Krasnoye and Voznesenovka, prompting a security response in the area.
In related developments, the security services in the region noted previous actions by Russian forces to neutralize a bombing threat associated with a Vampire MLRS platform near Belgorod. The events have contributed to a pattern of recurrent clashes along the border in this area, where regional leaders emphasize the goal of protecting civilians and infrastructure.
Residents in the Belgorod region have been urged to stay vigilant and follow guidance from local authorities as the situation evolves. The situation underscores ongoing tensions in the border area and highlights the ongoing efforts by regional authorities to monitor and respond to threats in real time.
