Belgorod region Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov reported the information.

He stated, "Our anti-aircraft system engaged 10 air targets approaching the city."

Reportedly, a woman sustained injuries when a fire broke out in her house, resulting in second-degree burns to her hand. Gladkov confirmed that she received necessary assistance on-site and did not require hospitalization.

The alleged air attack in Belgorod caused damage to one apartment building, with broken windows, and affected 18 private residential properties, resulting in two fires. Additionally, three cars were reportedly damaged by falling debris, and there was disruption to power and cold water supply lines.

In the village of Maisky, damage was observed in two private houses, along with a damaged car. In Dubovoye village, one private house had broken windows, while the facade and fence were damaged. Similarly, in Tavrovo village, the fence of a private house was reportedly damaged.

  • On March 29, Russia accused Ukraine of attacking Belgorod and the region, claiming that approximately 15 Vampire anti-aircraft missiles were destroyed during the incident.
  • Consequently, Russian authorities in Belgorod convened an Operational Headquarters meeting in the evening of March 29, announcing the transition of school children to distance learning due to the alleged shelling.
