| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited [Regnum] Belgorod has been subjected to the heaviest shelling in recent memory, according to regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov. "There is damage to energy facilities. We are currently gathering information," the governor noted on Telegram. As Gladkov noted, the shelling was presumably carried out by a HIMARS multiple launch rocket system. The hits set a building ablaze, and falling debris ignited a fire in one of the city's courtyards. Emergency Ministry personnel quickly extinguished the fires. Also in the village of Tavrovo in the Belgorod district, the roofs of two private homes were damaged as a result of falling debris. On January 24, Russian air defense systems shot down four HIMARS missiles and 137 Ukrainian drones. Over the past week, Russian air defense forces shot down 1,468 Ukrainian drones, 47 HIMARS missiles, 35 guided aerial bombs, and seven long-range Neptune missiles. In just one day, on January 21, nine guided aerial bombs, 224 UAVs, and four HIMARS missiles were destroyed. |
