More than 500 buildings were damaged during the attack of saboteurs in the Belgorod region

As a result of an attack by a sabotage and reconnaissance group (DRG) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Belgorod region, more than 500 houses and shops were damaged. This was announced by the head of the Grayvoron urban district Gennady Bondarev, transmits TASS.

“In Grayvoron alone, according to preliminary estimates, about 200 in varying degrees [повреждены]: and residential buildings, and economic, and industrial, and administrative buildings. In the kindergarten on Zamostye, the Hurricane warhead is still sticking out of the window,” he said.

Houses in the village of Kozinka suffered the most, Bondarev added. According to him, the restoration of the supply of electricity and gas in previously disconnected areas has already begun.

On May 22, a Ukrainian DRG entered Russia through the Kozinka international checkpoint in the Belgorod Region. During the counter-terrorist operation (the CTO regime in the region was introduced later that day), the enemy was blocked and defeated by air and artillery strikes, as well as by the active actions of border guards, informed Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. The remnants of the militants were forced into the territory of Ukraine and liquidated, he said. According to Shoigu, more than 70 saboteurs were killed.

The Kremlin said that the members of the Ukrainian DRG who entered the territory of Russia were Ukrainian militants. Earlier today, commenting on the use of Western equipment by saboteurs, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov noted that Moscow is aware of the increase in the supply of weapons from the West to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He added that the direct and indirect involvement of Western countries in the conflict is growing every day. According to Peskov, the Kremlin draws appropriate conclusions.
