Ukrainian drones attacked four settlements in the Belgorod region. The region’s governor Vyacheslav Gladkov wrote about this in his Telegram channel.

According to him, one of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) targets was the village of Novostroevka-Pervaya. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) struck agricultural machinery, injuring the driver.

“A man with a shrapnel wound to his leg and barotrauma was taken by passing transport to the Graivoron Central District Hospital. After his wounds are treated, he will be transferred to City Hospital No. 2 in Belgorod,” the head of the region specified. He added that the car itself was also damaged.

Another drone attack was recorded in the village of Dunayka. The Ukrainian aircraft detonated in the courtyard of a private residential building, as a result of which the windows of the building were knocked out.

“In the village of Petrovka, Belgorod District, as a result of a drone attack, one apartment completely burned down, and the glazing of the second was damaged,” Gladkov emphasized.

The fourth settlement hit by UAV strikes was the regional administrative center. Air defense systems that were activated in Belgorod shot down three Ukrainian Armed Forces drones, but their fragments fell to the ground. As the regional governor reported, pieces from the aircraft damaged one car.

In conclusion, the head of the region noted that emergency services are currently at the scene of the incidents.
