Ukrainian forces launched a shelling attack on Russia's southern Belgorod region on Sunday, leaving one person dead and injuring more than a dozen, regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov confirmed via Telegram.

The fatality occurred in the village of Shagarovka, while three were injured in Shebekino. Another village also faced attacks, with 11 people wounded earlier in the day, including two boys with severe leg injuries now possibly bound for Moscow for medical treatment.

Property damage was extensive, affecting 22 apartments, eight private homes, and over 20 vehicles. This incident follows a pattern of Ukrainian forces targeting Belgorod and nearby areas, further exacerbated by last month's incursion into the Kursk region.
