Video. Three injured in drone blast in Russia's Belgorod region
The blast hit a moving vehicle, which caught fire before being extinguished by emergency crews. CCTV footage released on Gladkov's official Telegram channel appeared to show the moment of impact in central Belgorod. According to the governor, the strike was carried out by a Ukrainian drone in what he described as another attack on the region's largest city near the Ukrainian border. In a separate incident earlier in the day, a government building was hit by a drone without causing injuries. Russia's Defence Ministry reported shooting down 44 Ukrainian drones overnight across its territory and the annexed Crimea.

Russian air defenses shoot down 44 Ukrainian UAVs
Moscow - Saba: The Russian Defense Ministry announced today Thursday that 44 Ukrainian drones were downed last night over several regions. Sputnik quoted the ministry as saying in a statement: "Last night, from 8:00 PM on Wednesday until 7:00 AM Moscow time on Thursday, Russian air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 44 Ukrainian drones." The statement added: "Fourteen drones were destroyed over the Black Sea basin, nine over the Volgograd region, seven over Crimea, seven over Rostov region, four over Krasnodar region, two over Belgorod region, and one over the Sea of Azov basin." The governor of the Russian Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, announced on Thursday that Kyiv regime forces had shelled the regional government building. Gladkov wrote in a statement posted on his Telegram channel: "I was walking now, and the government building was shelled at the time. Minor damage was reported in the area." Ukrainian Armed Forces target Russian border areas in Crimea and the Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, and Voronezh regions almost daily with drones and missiles. Russian forces, for their part, respond by targeting exclusively Ukrainian military infrastructure, as well as facilities of the military-industrial complex, everything related to the storage, repair, or manufacture of military equipment, and centers for the concentration of Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel and foreign mercenaries.

Belgorod region residents fear looting by Russian servicemen amid low police presence — Novaya Gazeta Europe
Locals who have left their homes in border districts of the Belgorod region in southwestern Russia have sent a joint complaint to Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov about the lack of police and ineffective local authorities in the areas, regional news website reported on Monday. Gladkov said residents of multiple border districts in the region were concerned about the properties they had left behind after evacuating from the area near the border with Ukraine, which has been subjected to frequent shelling since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of the country. Gladkov cited the example of the village of Murom, with about 250 residents, which has no police presence. Though there are self-defence units in the border area, their functions are limited to cooperating with the police, and they cannot ensure the safety of locals' property, Gladkov continued. 'We must do more work in the area. That's what the people want. It's what the president wants,' Gladkov said. People from border areas of the region frequently complain of looters, some of whom are likely to be Russian servicemen, according to Activatica, an organisation devoted to civic activism. 'Two houses had been broken into. One door had been crowbarred open, and the windows were smashed. There were signs of life in one house. In the yard, we found two bicycles stolen from other neighbours, two canisters with oil or gasoline … and traces of what we think were rations with the Russian army logo,' one local resident wrote on Gladkov's social media, Activatica reported.
