Russian bombers have continued to drop bombs on Russia’s Belgorod region and territories of Ukraine under Russian occupation, according to reports from ASTRA.
On December 11, a FAB-series aerial bomb fell on Ryleeva Street in the occupied town of Stakhanov (Kadiivka) in Luhansk region.
Subsequent bombs were discovered in Borovskoe, Tavrovo-9, and the village of Bolshoe Gorodishche in the Belgorod region. Another bomb fell near Debaltseve in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic on December 17.
In all cases, the bombs did not explode, and there were no casualties.
ASTRA reports that at least 140 aerial bombs — including 133 FABs and seven UMPBs — and three missiles have fallen from Russian aircraft in Russia and on occupied Ukrainian territories since the start of 2025. In 2024, a minimum of 165 FAB bombs were dropped on these areas.
Bombing incidents have occurred with alarming regularity. On December 6, a Russian bomber dropped a FAB on Belgorod; the ordnance detonated near a residential building on Dalny Lane, injuring one person.
Around 15,000 households temporarily lost electricity, which was restored within a few hours.
