After shelling by Ukrainian forces in the village of Novaya Tavolzhanka, three people were killed. The village is located in the Belgorod region in western Russia. The information was reported by the independent Russian portal Mediazona, citing the governor of the area.

Much of the information provided by Russian media or government representatives is part of propaganda efforts. Such reports are elements of the information war conducted by the Russian Federation.

Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov stated that three people died from their injuries before emergency medical services could arrive. Two additional people – a man and a woman – were injured.

Ukrainians struck another village

Later, Gladkov reported that Ukrainian drones attacked the village of Bogun-Gorodok. A man was critically injured and was transported to a hospital in Belgorod.

The mayor of Novorossiysk, Andrei Kravchenko, also reported an attack by Ukrainian marine drones on the night from Wednesday to Thursday. Initially, the city authorities in the Krasnodar region urged residents not to walk along the waterfronts. In a subsequent announcement, these restrictions were lifted.
