On Monday, an FAB-250 air bomb was discovered near the village of Shchelayevo in the Valuyki area. Another bomb of the same type was found roughly five kilometres from the village of Kazinka, also in the Valuyki area - according to the Astra channel on Telegram. In both instances, the residents weren't evacuated, but sappers managed to remove the explosives safely.
Over the past two days, Russian media have mentioned two additional unexploded aerial bombs landing in the Belgorod region. One was located near the area of Vvedenskaya Gotnya (Rakitiansky district). Local authorities have reported that it's already been dealt with and destroyed.
Meanwhile, the Telegram channel Papel alerts that another unexploded aerial bomb was uncovered in the village of Zamostje near Grayvoron, a recent battleground involving Russian volunteer saboteurs and Ukraine. The unexploded ordnance apparently remains at the village's entrance, as sappers and rescuers have yet to safely dispose of it.
This isn't the first instance of Russian military planes dropping munitions on Russian soil while en route to Ukraine, with the Belgorod region witnessing most of these incidents.
