Russians claim UAV strike on Belgorod region government building – video

On Friday, May 9, a drone allegedly attacked the government building in the Belgorod region. This was reported by the governor of the Russian region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, and the corresponding video was published.

He said the building was allegedly attacked by an airplane-type drone. Gladkov blames Ukrainian Armed Forces for the attack.

According to the governor of the Belgorod region, two people were allegedly injured in the attack – his deputy, Alexander Lorenz, and a Russian Guard soldier.

The Rosgvardeyan was allegedly hospitalized with a blind shrapnel wound to the thigh. And Lorenz has a concussion and an acubar injury.

LIGA.net asked the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense and the Security Service of Ukraine for comments, but received no response at the time of publication.

on May 2, the community Inform Napalm wrote that according to HUMINT from Russian sources, the Federal Security Service was instructed at a very high level to stage demonstration attacks in several regions during the May 9 parades. At the same time, every effort was made to ensure that the parade in Moscow would go off without incident.

"But the regions are not only being left without cover, but they are also planning to create several high-profile information occasions. Khabarovsk, Ulan-Ude and other regions are currently being considered for such operations," the report says.

Inform Napalm emphasized that the purpose of the operation is to accuse Ukraine of indiscriminate attacks on civilian crowds, to disrupt the United States' "peace initiatives," and to use these pretexts to mobilize additional resources from Russian regions.

• In November 2024, Russia accused Ukraine of attacking a house in Belgorod, but the video showed a "shahed" hit.
• On the night of May 7, 2025, drones attacked several regions of Russia, including Moscow and Tula regions and Mordovia.
