In Grayvoron, a town in Russia’s Belgorod region, three residents sustained injuries following shelling by units of the Ukrainian armed forces. Local officials said the injuries were reported through the regional governor’s communications channel, with medical staff detailing the nature of the wounds and the young age of one victim. Medical personnel indicated that two women suffered shrapnel injuries to their legs and arms, and their condition was described as moderate. A 19-year-old man also sustained shrapnel wounds to his legs, and his status was monitored by clinicians as stable under ongoing treatment.
Authorities noted that all injured individuals were promptly transported to nearby hospitals where clinicians were providing care and observing their recovery. The incidents occurred amid a broader pattern of cross-border shelling, and the regional administration confirmed that medical teams were actively managing the patients’ needs, including pain control, wound management, and observation for potential complications.
Beyond human harm, the shelling caused structural damage in the town. Six private houses and two garages in Grayvoron sustained damage, and emergency responders were deployed to the area to assess the scene, secure the vicinity, and assist residents displaced by the attacks. Local residents were urged to remain vigilant and to seek shelter in basements or other protective spaces when warnings were issued by authorities.
On the night of June 24, the Belgorod region issued a missile distress signal. At 01:21 Moscow time, alarms sounded across the regional center and neighboring districts, including Belgorod, Shebekino, and surrounding communities. Citizens were advised to take immediate shelter and to remain indoors until authorities confirmed it was safe to venture outside. The regional leadership stressed the importance of following official guidance to reduce risk during active fire or explosions in the area.
Earlier reports indicated that a separate attack by Ukrainian forces had left a single person injured in a village within the Bryansk region, underscoring a broader pattern of cross-border hostilities impacting multiple border areas near Belgorod. Local authorities pledged continued monitoring, medical readiness, and protective measures for residents as the situation evolved, emphasizing the need for accurate information and careful adherence to safety protocols during periods of heightened risk.
