“Unfortunately, a bad evening, dear friends. Night shelling of the enemy on civilian Belgorod. […] There is serious damage,” Gladkov said.
Before this, he declared a missile danger and called on residents of Belgorod, Shebekino and the surrounding areas to go down to the basement.
The Telegram channel “Tin Belgorod” reported that after the attack there were interruptions in heating and electricity. This information was confirmed by the local water utility. Utility workers said that a number of water supply facilities were also de-energized, which is why some residents were left without water.
The public “Ashes” stated that eyewitnesses recorded five strikes on the Frunzenskaya electrical substation in the village of Dragunskoye, Belgorod region.
The Belgorod Thermal Power Plant probably also came under attack.
