The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) carried out attacks on the settlements of Glotovo and Bezymeno in the Belgorod region, a claim reported by Regional Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov on his Telegram channel. The governor said that the outskirts of these villages in the Grayvoronsky urban district came under shelling from Ukrainian forces, describing a tense scene that disrupted daily life and raised concerns about civilian safety in the area. Gladkov’s account underscores the volatility of the border zone and the ongoing risk to residents as military actions continue to unfold along this part of the frontier.
According to the information provided by the governor’s office, an ammunition blast occurred directly in front of a vehicle on a local highway, an incident that amplified the gravity of the event. The force of the blast shattered the windshield and injured the driver, who is reported to be suffering from shell shock and other injuries as a result of the explosion. Medical teams were quickly mobilized, and the person was taken for urgent care in a hospital setting to receive the necessary treatment and monitoring for any potential complications in the aftermath of the blast.
Gladkov noted that the damage extended beyond personal harm to critical infrastructure. He reported that a power line was compromised by the attack, resulting in a temporary outage that affected subscribers in Bezymeno and highlighting the broader disruption that accompanies such raids. The regional head emphasized the need for immediate assistance and swift restoration of services to restore normalcy for residents who rely on electricity and communication networks for daily life and safety.
Earlier, Gladkov stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the outskirts of the village of Poroz in Grayvoronsky district with the aid of a drone. The information released indicated that, although there were no reported fatalities, the explosion caused damage to a facility connected to the area’s communications infrastructure, underscoring the strategic targets in the broader operational landscape and the potential impact on local connectivity and information flow for residents and services in the region.
In a related update, officials indicated that residents who had sustained injuries from shelling were being treated in Belgorod’s hospital system, with ongoing assessments to determine the full scope of medical needs and to ensure that those affected receive comprehensive care. The situation remains dynamic, and authorities continue to monitor developments to provide timely updates and to coordinate any further aid or safety measures necessary for the affected communities.
