Russia Reports 50 Drones Target Belgorod Region


(MENAFN) A wave of nearly 50 drones targeted Russia's Belgorod region on Thursday, wounding five people and damaging multiple residential and government structures, according to regional authorities.

Vyacheslav Gladkov, governor of the Belgorod region, reported via Telegram that the city of Belgorod bore the brunt of the attack, with 41 drones directed at the city alone. Of those, 28 were intercepted, while others were detected across surrounding districts.

Gladkov confirmed that three individuals were injured within the city and two others — including a 14-year-old girl — sustained injuries elsewhere in the region.

The drone barrage caused widespread property damage, the governor said, affecting “six apartment buildings, six private houses, three social facilities, one commercial property, three administrative buildings, and 15 vehicles.”

“The situation is now very serious in Belgorod and the Belgorod district. Another mass attack by unmanned aerial vehicles has taken place. I ask you to pay maximum attention to information coming from the Telegram channel reporting on enemy drones’ movements,” Gladkov stated.

He emphasized the importance of heeding real-time alerts, warning residents: “This is because it really saves lives for both you and your loved ones.”
