The administration of Russia's Belgorod region has announced the relocation of residents from the Krasnoyaruzhsky district due to activity by the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF), according to Belgorod region governor Vyacheslav Gladkov.

"We are having a troubling morning," the governor wrote.

According to Gladkov, UAF activity has been detected along the border of the Krasnoyaruzhsky district.

"To ensure the safety and well-being of our population, we are beginning to relocate people living in the Krasnoyaruzhsky district to safer locations," Gladkov announced.
