Belgorod News, December 15, 2025, Avia.pro. An incident occurred in Belgorod involving the arrival of what is believed to be ammunition or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) near the Luch Thermal Power Plant (TPP). Local social media groups reported this, noting that power outages began in the area following the explosion. Eyewitnesses described the sounds of explosions and noticeable blackouts in several areas of the city, suggesting damage to the power infrastructure.

At this time, there have been no official comments from the Russian authorities or the Ministry of Defense, leaving the situation awash in speculation. Given the recent attacks on energy facilities in the Belgorod region, including incidents involving child victims, such a strike could be part of Ukraine's ongoing strategy to weaken Russian infrastructure.
