Injury of 7 People in Ukrainian Shelling on Russian Belgorod

The governor of the Russian Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, announced on Monday that seven civilians, including a child, were injured in Ukrainian shelling in the town of Valuyki located in the border area. Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov revealed via "Telegram" that five multi-storey buildings and four houses were damaged, with one building catching fire. Separately, Roman Starovoit, the governor of the Kursk region to the north of Belgorod and also bordering Ukraine, stated that "Ukrainian forces shelled two villages there. According to preliminary data, there were no injuries." In recent months, Russian areas adjacent to Ukraine have experienced explosions and attacks almost daily, with Russian officials blaming Ukrainian forces or pro-Ukrainian saboteurs for these incidents.
