On Tuesday, hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers crossed the border into the Russian Kursk region. The main actions are concentrated in the town of Sudzha, located about 14 kilometres from the Ukrainian border and is currently the site of intense military operations. Due to the threat, the residents of Sudzha were evacuated.
Meanwhile, the governor of the Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, reported on tragic events in the city of Shebekino, which also came under fire.
According to BBC Russia, the city came under attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, leading to fatalities and injuries. Gladkov noted that during the shelling, one person died despite intensive medical assistance on the way to the hospital. He also added that another civilian was injured in the same attack. Gladkov relayed this information via his Telegram account.
The Russian city authorities posted social media reports about the situation in Shebekino. They described the atmosphere as terrifying and emphasized that the country and the authorities must be aware of the situation in the city.
"The aggression continues, and its goal is the destruction of the civilian population in Shebekino. The attacks occur daily, and the breaks between them are getting shorter and shorter. The number of shots directed at civilians is increasing day by day. Today, the city was shelled eight or nine times since morning," local media reported.
As a result of the shelling of the city of Shebekino in the Belgorod region, milk leaked from the local dairy. The published video shows how milk floods a significant part of the street. Due to the high temperatures, the milk began to sour quite quickly.
"According to eyewitnesses, the stench of milk in the city is indescribable," - Russian media reported on Telegram.
