"The armed forces of Ukraine shelled Shebekino again. According to preliminary information, three people have been injured," Gladkov wrote on his Telegram channel. He noted that two of the victims were men and one was a woman. They have been transferred to a local hospital and are receiving treatment.
Gladkov added that two residential homes caught fire after the shelling but they were quickly extinguished by firefighters.
Hours later, he posted that the entire region is under a missile alert, and urged residents to stay in their basements until they get the "all clear" signal.
Russia has described the Kiev regime's intentional targeting of civilians in Belgorod as acts of terrorism.
