The Russian edition of ASTRA reported the information.

The incident occurred on Saturday, January 27.

The bombs were found in the village of Postnikov, Korochansky district, and the village of Streletskoye, Belgorod district. The authorities decided to evacuate 150 people who lived within a half-kilometer radius of the bomb site from the latter village.

According to media reports, there were no casualties in the incident, and the munitions were destroyed the next day.

  • Earlier, Russian troops attacked the surviving high-rise buildings in the temporarily occupied Rubizhne, Luhansk region. Due to the presence of witnesses and a large number of victims, they failed to conceal the incident.
  • On January 2, a similar "abnormal munition" explosion occurred in the Voronezh region, Russia. During an attack on Ukraine, a Russian aircraft munition fell, resulting in destruction.
  • According to British intelligence, such cases of falling aircraft munitions on Russian-controlled territory during attacks on Ukraine are likely to be explained by inadequate training and crew fatigue during such missions.
