After the Kursk region, the Belgorod region is also evacuating residents due to the threat of Ukraine

In the Russian border region of Belgorod, 11,000 people were evacuated, the Russian news agency TASS reports. According to the regional government, this is because of “hostile activities” in the border area.

Belgorod borders Ukraine and is south of the Kursk region, where Ukrainian troops attacked it last Tuesday. Before that, 76,000 people in that region had to leave their homes.

Russia says it neutralized five drones over Belgorod, 11 over the Kursk region and two over the Voronezh region, a little further east, last night. According to the Ministry of Defense of Russia, Ukrainian attacks are being repelled using heavy equipment. Several Ukrainian tanks were destroyed, the Russians said.
