Due to ongoing shelling, evacuation has been announced for two more settlements in the Belgorod region of Russia, according to the Belgorod region Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov.
According to him, during a meeting of the Operational Headquarters on Tuesday, October 8, it was decided to close the entrances to the villages of Petrovka and Solovyovka, as well as to begin the resettlement of residents and provide them with new housing.
Gladkov added that residents of Petrovka have complained about regular shelling.
Situation in the Belgorod region
The Belgorod region, located to the east and south, borders the Kharkiv region. Russian military forces continuously shelled Kharkiv with missiles and guided bombs from the territory of the region.
Some bombs and missiles fail to reach Ukrainian territory and instead land within Russia. As a result, settlements in the Russian region regularly experience shelling and destruction.
Additionally, several military raids by the Russian Volunteer Corps, which fights against the regime of President Vladimir Putin, have been recorded in the border area of Belgorod in both the past and current years.
In September, a freight train derailed on the Stary Oskol - Valuiki railway line in Belgorod due to a mine explosion. The operation was conducted by Ukraine's Defense Intelligence and the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The Russian army has also mined all the dams in Belgorod to carry out terrorist acts and diversions, intending to blame Ukraine for them.
