According to analysts from OSINT Intuit, the attack was carried out using the HIMARS rocket system to isolate Russian troops located in the Vovchansk area in Kharkiv region.

Local Telegram channels report that the hydrological situation has changed due to the water discharge from the dam in Shebekino. According to the governor of Belgorod region, the situation is under control, and only a few private households have been damaged.

Reactions to the attack

However, Russian officials confirmed the shelling of the dam, as well as the damage to technical structures and equipment. According to the 16th Army Corps of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Ukrainian troops noted that after the strike, the water level in the reservoir decreased, which immediately affected the enemy's positions.

The commander of the UAV forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces confirmed that the attack was carried out by fighters from the 1st separate center for UAV forces to disrupt the enemy's logistics.

The attack on the Belgorod reservoir affected the hydrological situation in the region, causing flooding of areas downstream. Both the Russian and Ukrainian sides confirm the shelling of the dam and the consequences of this attack on the front situation.

It is worth noting that such actions can significantly influence the course of military operations in the region. The decrease in the reservoir level creates new opportunities for changing tactics for both sides and may also cause humanitarian problems for local residents who are already suffering from the consequences of the conflict.
