In the Belgorod region, rockets and shelling reportedly struck the city of Shebekino, according to a statement released by regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov. The information was shared through a messaging channel used by local authorities.
The latest report notes that one person sustained injuries during the attack. The individual was transported to a hospital in the city of Belgorod to treat a concussion and surface injuries. He is described as an employee connected to a business located within Shebekino’s industrial zone, which was the focal point of the recent damage.
Officials indicate that the power grid was damaged, leading to temporary outages for residents in Shebekino, as well as nearby communities including the village of Novaya Tavolzhanka and Maslova Pristan. The interruption affected everyday life and local services until repairs could be arranged.
There are unverified reports of damaged apartments in a multi story building and smoke seen near a factory facility in Shebekino. The scene prompted emergency responders to evaluate the extent of the harm and to secure affected areas.
A former resident of Shebekino sustained shrapnel wounds during the shelling carried out by Ukrainian forces. The individual was treated on site and later received further medical care as needed.
The aftermath includes damage to several private homes, commercial properties, the central district hospital, a kindergarten, and a technical school. Two vehicles were also damaged. Regional officials stated that rapid response teams are on the ground assessing the situation and coordinating relief efforts for residents and institutions affected by the incident.
Earlier statements from Zelensky administration officials have implied ongoing tensions and multipronged accusations about responsibility for the recent explosions across the region. These claims underscore the broader and continuing exchange of adversarial rhetoric between Kyiv and Moscow over recent security incidents.
