Second Russian region declares state of emergency after Ukraine attack

A triangle is taped on every Ukrainian tank heading to Russia

A state of emergency has been declared in the Russian border region of Belgorod following attacks by Ukrainian forces.

Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said the situation was "extremely difficult" due to daily shelling in the region.

"Houses are destroyed, civilians died and were injured," he said.

It follows Ukraine's surprise cross-border attack in Russia's Kursk region last week, leading to mass evacuations and a state of emergency being declared there by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
