The missile threat signal in the Kursk region was canceled, according to the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergencies of Russia for the Kursk region via its official channels. The communication stated that the rocket danger had subsided and that there was no longer an immediate threat in that area, providing reassurance to residents and local authorities.
In tandem, Vyacheslav Gladkov, the governor of the Belgorod region, confirmed that the missile alert had ended. His statement echoed the latest updates from emergency services and regional administration, signaling a return to a calmer security posture for Belgorod and nearby communities.
Earlier, officials had announced a temporary missile danger across portions of the Belgorod region. Residents were urged to remain vigilant and to follow official guidance during the alert window, with authorities ready to restore warnings if necessary.
During the night and early morning of March 12, the region experienced a broad barrage as Ukrainian drones and missiles targeted several areas. Unmanned aerial vehicles were reported down in Moscow, Leningrad, Belgorod, Kursk, Bryansk, Tula, and Voronezh regions. The incidents also involved fires: one at an oil storage site in the Oryol region after a drone strike, and another at an oil refinery near Nizhny Novgorod. In the wake of the air raid, military observers noted that saboteur attempts were underway from Ukrainian positions toward the Belgorod and Kursk corridors. Further details were outlined in coverage by the regional media outlet mentioned in recent reporting.
Earlier reports also indicated that Ukrainian forces had attacked a shopping facility in Belgorod, adding to the sense of heightened tension in the border area and prompting local authorities to reinforce security and inform residents about protective measures.
