Ukrainian armed forces attack five settlements in Russia's Belgorod
Five settlements in Russia's Belgorod region have come under attack from the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
According to TASS, the governor of Russia's Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said that five settlements in the region were attacked by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
“Five settlements in our region were attacked by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to preliminary information, there were no casualties,” Governor Gladkov wrote on his Telegram channel on August 26.
Mr. Gladkov clarified that the Armed Forces of Ukraine shelled and used drones to attack the Rzhevka district of Shebekinsky district, the Maslova Pristan district, the Otradnoye district, the Vyazovoe district of Krasnoyaruzhsky district, the Berezovka district of Borisov district.
The shelling caused severe damage to many apartment buildings, private homes, business establishments, town hall buildings, and people's properties. A gas pipeline and power lines in the town of Rakitnoe were also damaged by the shelling.
According to the governor of Belgorod, within 24 hours, the region has suffered a series of drone attacks and artillery shelling from Ukraine.
The Belgorod region, like Bryansk and Kursk regions, lies close to the border with Ukraine and has been attacked by Kiev forces almost daily throughout the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
On August 26, Ukraine launched a series of attacks deep into Russian territory, including border fronts. The governor of Russia's Saratov region said that Ukrainian suicide drones attacked high-rise buildings in Saratov.
