The high (“yellow”) level of terrorist danger in the Bryansk region has been extended from February 3, 14:00 (coincides with Moscow) until further notice. About it reported in the press service of the government of the region.

“In connection with the information of law enforcement agencies about the continuing threat of a terrorist act and the organization of activities to counteract its commission, by the decision of the chairman of the anti-terrorist commission of the Bryansk region, the governor of the Bryansk region, a high (yellow) level was set on the territory of the Bryansk region from 14:00 on February 3, 2023 terrorist threat. <...> Information about the abolition of the terrorist threat will be provided additionally,” the statement said.

Earlier today, the Governor of the Bryansk region Alexander Bogomaz in his Telegram channel informed on the operation of the air defense system, as a result of which a missile attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine was repelled. On February 1, Bogomaz reported that since the beginning of the special operation, the Bryansk region has undergone more than 270 shellings, killing four people and injuring 22. For the damage caused, as the Bryansk governor said, assistance in the amount of 4.4 million rubles was provided from the local budget.

January 31 Russian President Vladimir Putin canceled limitation on the timing of the introduction of levels of terrorist threat in the Russian regions. Previously, the level of terrorist threat could be set for a period of no more than 15 days, now the decision to introduce a threat level becomes indefinite and is valid until it is canceled.

There are three levels of terrorist danger: “blue” (increased), “yellow” (high) and “red” (critical). According to information on the website of the National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC), the last level is entered if there is information about a terrorist attack or about the commission of actions that create a threat of a terrorist attack.

In April 2022, the “yellow” (high) level of terrorist threat was introduced by six of the seven border regions against the backdrop of regular shelling from Ukraine. Since then, the regime has been repeatedly extended. In addition, from October 19, 2022, a “medium response” regime was introduced, which applies to eight border regions – Crimea, Sevastopol, Krasnodar Territory, Belgorod, Bryansk, Voronezh, Kursk and Rostov regions.
