Residents of Belgorod complained about drone attacks a week ago. The residents heard explosions, and videos of the attacks appeared online.
Prior to this, in the Bryansk region, locals heard explosions, and part of a settlement was left without electricity. There were at least four explosions.
A day before the attack on the Bryansk region, a drone was spotted in the sky, and it was allegedly "shot down by air defense systems." Ukraine was traditionally blamed for everything.
