Earlier that morning, on March 14, eight rocket projectiles were destroyed over the Belgorod region. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, air targets were shot down over the region at 8:30 a.m. Moscow time. Thus, Russian military forces intercepted an attempt by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to carry out a terrorist attack.
Shortly before this, a rocket danger regime was declared in Belgorod and the Belgorod district, as announced by Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov. He urged local residents to stay at home and not approach windows, if possible.
Previously, the Russian National Guard shot down UAVs belonging to the AFU on approach to the Belgorod Thermal Power Plant.
