An airstrike on the Belgorod region of Russia has resulted in damage to energy infrastructure, although no casualties have been reported. Vyacheslav Gladkov, the governor of Belgorod, provided an update on the situation on the evening of February 15.
Governor Gladkov stated that preliminary assessments indicate significant damage to energy facilities. Emergency and operational services are currently assessing the extent of the damage, with further information expected to be released shortly.

Ukrainian military officials have not commented on the reports from Russia.
