The Belgorod region reported continued tension after reports of surface-to-air activity and drone incursions. Local authorities, including regional head Vyacheslav Gladkov, described disruption and damage stemming from strikes attributed to Ukrainian forces in the Shebekinsky urban district. According to Gladkov, no injuries were officially recorded in this latest incident, though the episode underscored ongoing security concerns in border communities.
In Murom village, a drone impact damaged a private residence, tearing through a window and compromising the roof and interior finishing. A GAZelle vehicle also sustained damage in the same drone-related incident. The governor’s office noted emergency responders were mobilized to assess the scene and provide immediate relief where needed.
Gladkov further stated that Krasnoye village experienced power outages on one street due to shelling, prompting efforts from utilities and emergency teams to restore electricity and ensure public safety. The regional administration confirmed that crews were working around the clock to restore essential services in the affected area.
Officials also mentioned that air defense systems stationed within Belgorod and the surrounding region were activated as part of ongoing defense measures in response to current threats. The situation has prompted heightened vigilance and coordinated work among regional authorities, law enforcement, and emergency services to monitor the security situation and support residents returning to normal life where possible.
On June 23, officials reported another incident in the Grayvoron area involving three Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles. The attack left four people injured, with one individual subsequently unable to be saved, underscoring the human toll of repeated exchanges and the strain on local medical facilities.
In related regional updates, authorities noted that Ukrainian drone activity has been linked to disruptive events in other parts of the conflict-affected region, including past reports of explosive devices and planned actions directed at facilities elsewhere. The region continues to emphasize rapid response protocols and the protection of civilian infrastructure as part of its ongoing security strategy, while encouraging calm and cooperation among residents during periods of heightened risk.
