Footage allegedly from Terebrenyi also appeared on the network. You can hear the sounds of gunshots on the video, but it is unknown whether they were taken from the scene.
In addition, Governor Gladkov noted that there are allegedly no civilian casualties. At the same time, he said that one private residential building and a pavilion were reportedly damaged.
The Russians, in a propagandist spirit, "blamed the Ukrainian side for this shooting."
According to sources in the law enforcement agencies of Ukraine, the fighters of the liberation movement Legion "Freedom of Russia" carried out a successful operation on the territory of the Belgorod region.
The Ukrainian military intelligence (DIU) representatives noted that as a result of an attack by opponents of the criminal Kremlin regime, a platoon stronghold of Russian troops was destroyed.
The unexpected attack on the positions of units of the terrorist Russian army caused a panic reaction among the personnel of the local garrison. Thus, on the order of the local commanders of the Russian troops, chaotic artillery fire was opened on the surrounding villages, the DIU added.
