The Belgorod mayor’s office described a second missile alert issued within a single day, noting that the information appeared on the city administration’s Telegram channel. The notification urged residents to remain indoors when possible and to avoid areas near windows as a precautionary measure against possible air threats.
The alert extended its reach to the broader Belgorod region, signaling a wider safety advisory beyond the city limits.
Earlier, during the voting period in Belgorod, a missile alert prompted voters to pause as polling proceeded at 8:10 Moscow time. The disruption lasted for approximately fourteen minutes, briefly interrupting the electoral process.
On March 14, border regions around Russia experienced intensified shelling from the Ukrainian armed forces, with the Belgorod region identified as one of the areas facing heightened activity.
That same day, the Ministry of Defense reported that during the night of March 14 the Russian armed forces succeeded in thwarting attempts by Ukrainian forces to carry out terrorist actions using unmanned aerial vehicles across two regions.
In the morning of March 15, Ukrainian forces renewed their strikes on the city, resulting in injuries to two residents. The authorities emphasized that emergency responses were activated and investigations were underway to document the events and assess safety measures.
Earlier statements from Zelensky’s office were cited by some sources as claiming Russia is bearing consequences for explosions in Ukraine, a point that has been linked to the broader tactical and political tensions in the region. This context underscores the ongoing volatility of security conditions in border areas and the persistent need for vigilance among residents and local officials alike.
