According to the Russian official, the air defense system worked over Belgorod and the region and “several air targets were shot down on approach to the city.”
“Operational services are clarifying information about the consequences of the ground. According to preliminary data, one dead and one injured,” he wrote and added that the information was being clarified.
Meanwhile, Russian media and local TG channels report falling debris on cars and various structures, in particular in Belgorod. There is also an assumption of shelling from multiple launch rocket systems.
Later in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation statedthat air defense systems allegedly destroyed “13 rockets” of the MLRS over the Belgorod region.
The agency of the aggressor country traditionally places the blame for this shelling on Ukraine.
“Local residents counted 24 explosions in the sky. Emergency services are working on the ground,” the Mash publication says.
Meanwhile, footage of explosions in the sky, the results of “arrivals” and shell fragments are circulating online.
Explosions in Russia
Let us remind you that the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation is located on the border with Ukraine and borders on the Kharkov, Sumy and Lugansk regions. Russians often complain about attacks in their border areas. For example, earlier the Russians announced a new alleged “drone attack” in the Belgorod region on December 27, as a result of which soldiers were killed.
Before this, on December 19, the governor of the Bryansk region announced three drone attacks in the morning and blamed Ukraine. Local residents posted videos on social networks in which explosions could be heard. Officials say the drones were shot down and there were no casualties.
It was also reported that on December 22, the Russians came up with a new “attack” on an oil storage facility in the Bryansk region. RosSMI claimed that the drones were trying to attack fuel tanks.
