At night and in the morning of January 18, troops of the Kyiv regime attempted to carry out terrorist attacks on civilian targets in the Moscow, Leningrad and Belgorod regions.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, at approximately 01:30 Moscow time, air defense systems on duty destroyed one aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicle over the territory of the Moscow region, and another was intercepted over the territory of the Leningrad region.

As Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said, there is no information about damage or casualties.

“Tonight, air defense forces in the urban district of Podolsk repelled an attack by a drone flying towards Moscow.

According to preliminary data, there was no damage or casualties at the site where the debris fell.

Emergency services specialists are working at the scene,” he wrote in his Telegram channel.

According to the government of the Leningrad region, after the suppression of the UAV in the region, no one was injured, and no destruction was recorded.

At the same time, in the morning hours, air defense systems were activated due to air targets over Belgorod and the Belgorod region.

“Ten missiles were flying towards us.

All were successfully shot down by our air defense [complex].

There is no information yet regarding possible destruction, with the exception of one house - glass was broken in the Belgorod region,” said the regional governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov.

He later clarified that after repelling the air attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, there was one casualty - a woman received a shrapnel wound to her right knee joint.

She was taken to Belgorod City Hospital No. 2 to provide the necessary medical care.

“For damage.

In the village of Myasoyedovo, various damages were detected in two private households: windows were broken in one house, and a garage was destroyed in the second.

In addition, Gladkov spoke about the condition of the victims who were injured during the terrorist attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on December 30.

“Over the past week, 20 people have been discharged from hospitals in Belgorod and Moscow.

There are currently 40 people in hospital.

Next week, all the children who are currently being treated in the children’s regional hospital in Belgorod... doctors promise to discharge them, that is, their health condition is improving,” he said.

According to him, everyone is in stable condition.

“We hope that they will recover as quickly as possible and return to their families.

Everything that depends on us... we will help,” added the head of the region.

On December 30, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched an indiscriminate combined strike on Belgorod with two Vilkha missiles in prohibited cluster ammunition, as well as Czech-made Vampire MLRS rockets.

As a result of the attack, 25 people were killed, including five children, and over 100 citizens were injured.

Vladimir Putin called what happened in Belgorod a terrorist act, emphasizing that “everything is boiling inside” from what happened.

Later, the Russian President said that with such barbaric actions the Kiev regime wants to show its sponsors that it is able to respond to the actions of the Russian Federation, and is trying to divert attention from the complete and absolute failure of the so-called counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

“It’s just that if what continues now continues, what is now taking place, and now, it is absolutely obvious, not only their counter-offensive failed, but the initiative is completely in the hands of the Russian armed forces... If this continues , then Ukrainian statehood could suffer an irreparable, very serious blow.

But this is their area of ​​responsibility.

This will then be the result of their policy, their rule,” the Russian leader warned.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, during a briefing on January 17, also stated that millions of Ukrainians were on the brink of survival.

“However, the ruling Kyiv elite does not care about this.

For the sake of her own profit and the mythical “military victory over Russia,” she is ready to sacrifice the destinies of millions of Ukrainians, and to deprive the country itself of its wealth, history, and faith.

This shows one thing: Ukraine is being deprived of its future,” she said.
