“Belgorod and the Belgorod district were subjected to massive missile bombardment by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

According to preliminary information, there were no casualties. Energy infrastructure facilities suffered severe damage. As a result, power, water, and heating outages were reported,” Gladkov wrote on the Max platform.

The governor clarified that a more precise assessment of the extent of the damage will be carried out during the day.

All emergency services are on site, and information regarding the consequences is being clarified.

A high (yellow) level of terrorist threat has been in effect throughout the Belgorod region since April 11, 2022.

The need to impose this regime stems from the worsening situation on the border with Ukraine and the increased activity of Ukrainian military personnel in the border areas.
