During the night, an explosion blasted out in the city center of Belgorod.

Local Telegram channels reported this and published a photo capturing the smoke rising in the city center.

Vyacheslav Gladkov, governor of the Belgorod region, reported that an explosive device fell on the roadway in Belgorod.

It was dropped from an unknown drone.

As a result of the explosion, no one was injured, but a car was damaged.

Later, Gladkov also reported that the air defense forces shot down another unknown drone.

According to preliminary information, no casualties were reported.

As previously reported, the Russians lost a Ka-52 attack helicopter the day before as a result of hostilities in the territory of the Belgorod region.

During attempts to fight back the attack of the Russian Volunteer Corps soldiers, the Russian military actively used army aviation, both helicopters and attack aircraft.

According to the Russians, the forces of the Russian Volunteer Corps had anti-aircraft weapons, mainly portable anti-aircraft missile systems. Presumably, it was one of them that shot down the Russian helicopter.
