Reports from the Belgorod region describe a sequence of attacks around the Grayvoronsky urban district, focusing on the village of Poroz. The information comes from regional authorities and local channels, noting that the area experienced shelling from Ukrainian forces. The region’s head, Vyacheslav Gladkov, confirmed the events as part of ongoing security updates to residents in the border zone. According to Gladkov, there were no injuries as a result of this particular incident, and the emphasis remained on assessing property damage and maintaining public safety. A private house in Poroz reportedly sustained minor damage, with shrapnel having pierced the roof and fence and several windows broken. Local authorities continued door-to-door checks to identify any additional risks or related concerns in the vicinity. [Citation: Belgorod regional administration]

In a separate development tied to the same security situation, Vyacheslav Gladkov reported an incident tied to Ukrainian unmanned aerial systems. One day after the Poroz event, an unmanned aerial vehicle attributed to Ukrainian forces was reported to have caused an explosion in the village of Shchetinovka, resulting in the fall of two explosive devices. The governor’s office noted the event as part of the ongoing observation of cross-border activity and its consequences for the district. [Citation: Belgorod regional administration]

Earlier in the month, Gladkov announced a day with no shelling for the first time in six months, marking a short pause in hostilities that had been affecting the region. This pause was framed as a moment of relief in a broader pattern of intermittent pressure along the border. [Citation: Belgorod regional administration]

Additional reports referenced an attack against the village of Kozinka within the same Grayvoronsky district. It was stated that a kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicle, linked to Ukrainian armed forces, struck Kozinka and caused injuries to one individual, who sustained shrapnel wounds to the lower extremities. The injured person was transported to a regional hospital for treatment. The incident contributed to ongoing assessments of risk and the measures being taken to protect residents and responders in the area. [Citation: Belgorod regional administration]

These events fit into a broader context of security and defense measures described by local authorities, including the implementation of a new drone suppression system recently introduced in the region. The update highlighted ongoing efforts to monitor, deter, and respond to aerial threats as part of a broader regional safety strategy. [Citation: Belgorod regional administration]
