U.S. Air Force Setting Up Drone Strike Transmission Hub in Belgorod Region
In the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, Ukrainian forces have been conducting drone attacks on the Belgorod region of Russia. These attacks have resulted in damage to military infrastructure and civilian casualties.
On August 3, Ukraine launched a series of drone attacks on the Belgorod region, with one of the attacks causing a civilian injury near Novopetrivka, Belgorod Oblast. According to reports, Ukrainian drones destroyed a concrete bridge used by Russian military logistics, using explosives rigged by Russian forces that the drone detonated.
The attacks have not been limited to military targets, as multiple incidents have resulted in civilian injuries. For instance, three civilians were injured in the Valuyski district, and a woman was injured by a drone detonation in Vesyolaya Lopan.
Russian air defenses have been actively countering these drone attacks, reportedly shooting down multiple Ukrainian drones over various regions, including four over Belgorod itself.
However, there is no confirmed information about the use of relay devices by Ukrainian forces near the Ukrainian-Russian border, as the current search results do not provide direct, up-to-date information about these devices or their deployment in this area.
Reports suggest that Ukrainian forces have been installing relay devices to boost the range of their strike drones, allowing them to target objects in the Belgorod region. These reports, including those about attacks on medical facilities in the Belgorod region, were initially reported by RIA Novosti.

In summary, the drone attacks by Ukrainian forces continue to pose a threat to the Belgorod region, causing damage to military infrastructure and civilian casualties. While Russian air defenses are actively countering these attacks, there is no confirmed information about the use of relay devices by Ukrainian forces near the border at this time.
