On Tuesday, hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers crossed the border into Russia's Kursk Oblast. The main activities are concentrated in the town of Sudzha, which is approximately 9 miles from the Ukrainian border and is currently the object of intense military operations. Due to the threat, the residents of Sudzha have been evacuated.
Meanwhile, the governor of Belgorod Oblast, Vyacheslav Gladkov, informed about the tragic events in the city of Shebekino, which was also subjected to shelling.
As reported by BBC Russia, the town came under attack from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, leading to fatalities and injuries. Gladkov noted that during the shelling, one person died despite intensive medical assistance on the way to the hospital. He also added that another civilian was injured during the same attack. Gladkov conveyed this information through his Telegram account.
The Russian city authorities published reports on social media concerning the situation in Shebekino. They described the atmosphere as terrifying and emphasized that the country and authorities must be aware of the situation in the city.
"The aggression continues, and its aim is to destroy the civilian population in Shebekino. The attacks happen daily, and the intervals between them are getting shorter. The number of shots aimed at civilians is increasing day by day. Today, the city has been shelled eight or nine times since morning. We've already lost count," reported the local media.
As a result of the shelling of the town of Shebekino in the Belgorod Oblast, there has been a milk leak from the local dairy. In the published footage, you can see that milk is flooding a significant part of the street. Due to the considerable temperatures, the milk started souring quite quickly.
"According to eyewitnesses, the smell of milk in the city is indescribable" – reported Russian media on Telegram.
