Vyazovoe, a village in the Krasnoyarsky district of Belgorod region, has faced renewed shelling from Ukrainian forces. Reports circulating on regional channels indicate ongoing attacks, with authorities confirming that air and ground fire targeted the settlement in recent hours. Officials say the situation remains under assessment as emergency services coordinate with regional authorities to monitor the impact and respond swiftly to any developing needs.
Initial information from regional authorities suggests that, at this stage, there have been no reported injuries among civilians. The early indications point to damage to essential infrastructure rather than to human life, though the precise scale of the damage is still being evaluated as rescue crews and structural engineers inspect affected facilities. Local responders emphasize the priority is to ensure public safety, secure damaged sites, and prevent further harm while assessments continue.
Officials noted that one of the immediate consequences of the strike was damage to a power transmission line. Electricity services are being prioritized in the response plan, with teams from emergency and operational services designated to begin restoration work as soon as they receive the green light from the relevant authorities. The coordination involves both regional emergency agencies and the Russian Ministry of Defense, aiming to accelerate repairs and restore basic utilities to residents as quickly as possible.
In another incident reported the day before, authorities stated that the Ukrainian military had fired more than 50 artillery shells at the village of Terebreno in Belgorod region. The incident underscored a pattern of intensified artillery activity in border areas, prompting intensified monitoring and protective measures for civilians living in adjacent communities. Local administrations have reiterated calls for vigilance, advising residents to follow official guidance and to seek shelter when alarms are issued.
On December 13, Gladkov announced that a civilian vehicle had detonated a mine in the Krasnoyarsky district, near the Vysoky farm area. He described an emergency response unfolding in the vicinity of the same locale where the mine had been located. Investigations into the blast are progressing, and authorities are working to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident, including potential security gaps and the status of nearby roadways and safety checkpoints. Residents are urged to stay away from suspected danger zones and to report any suspicious activity to local authorities as investigations proceed.
