A district in Russia’s Belgorod region is “under attack” by Ukrainian forces, an official has claimed.

Vyacheslav Gladkov, regional governor, said the city of Shebekino, in the Shebekinsky district, had been shelled, damaging three apartment buildings and the fence of a pirvate house.

Equipment was damaged at a nearby sports ground, he said.

The village of Novaya Tavolzhanka also came under attack, Mr Gladkov claimed, leading to smashed windows, roofs and fences.

No casualties have been reported.

Last week, the governor said a man had been killed and another wounded by Ukrainian shelling in Shebekino.

Belgorod has come under frequent shelling and drone attacks from Ukraine during the course of the war. It’s unclear if this latest assault is linked to the recent Ukrainian invasion inside Russia.
