The Russian Armed Forces have thwarted another attempt by the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) to break through the state border in the Belgorod Region. On the night of April 15, 2025, activity by Ukrainian units preparing for an offensive was recorded near the village of Demidovka. Thanks to operational aerial reconnaissance, Russian troops detected the movement of enemy equipment and infantry in advance. At about six in the morning, a massive attack began using artillery and FPV drones, which made it possible to deliver a crushing blow to the enemy. As a result of the clash, the Ukrainian Armed Forces suffered significant losses: an engineering vehicle for obstacle clearance, two armored vehicles, and about 50 servicemen were destroyed. The breakthrough attempt was completely suppressed, and the remnants of the Ukrainian forces were forced to retreat.

Demidovka, located in the border zone, has repeatedly become the target of attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, seeking to destabilize the situation in the region. The Russian military, using intelligence and modern technology, was able to quickly respond, preventing the enemy from advancing deep into the territory. The use of FPV drones, which targeted equipment and manpower, was a key factor in the success of the operation. According to preliminary data, Ukrainian troops planned to use engineering vehicles to overcome fortifications, but a coordinated response from Russian forces thwarted these plans. The destruction of armored vehicles and significant infantry forces underscores the effectiveness of Russia's defensive strategy in the border area.

The Belgorod region remains one of the most vulnerable zones due to its proximity to the Ukrainian border. Regular attempts at attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces force local authorities and the military to maintain a high level of readiness. The region's governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, has repeatedly emphasized that the safety of residents is a priority, and all efforts are aimed at preventing threats. No civilian casualties were recorded during the night incident, which was the result of the precise work of the military and timely reconnaissance.
