Social networks wrote that a military base could explode. So far, there has been no comment from local authorities about the emergency situation.
After the explosions were reported, information emerged that in Belgorod, a bridge across the Seversky Donets had been blocked on both sides.
The explosions in Belgorod were confirmed by Kremlin propagandist Alexander Kots on his Telegram channel.
Blogger from the Conflict Intelligence Team Ruslan Leviev wrote that the Mi-8 and Ka-52 helicopters were in sight. According to the CIT, one of the helicopters may have arrived in Belgorod, the head of the Russian General Staff Valery Gerasimov, from there he flew to Moscow by plane. According to media reports, Gerasimov was at the Ukrainian Izyum recently, near where there were clashes between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Russian occupiers.
Okay, the bullshit continues. Now come the two Mi-8 + three Ka-52s. On stage I met some very important military ranks, guarded in a circular motion by submachine gunners. Behind him were the black Mercedes minibuses, Kruzaki.

At the same time, Leviev said the smoke was not visible above the airport, where Gerasimov may have been. According to unverified reports, the explosion took place near the village of Kalinino, Yakovlovsky district, Belgorod region.
Recall that in the Kursk region of Russia, neighboring Ukraine, the railway bridge structure collapsed.
On the night of March 29, there were reports of fire at military depots in Belgorod. Local media later reported that the cause of the incident was a “human factor”.
In turn, the Ukrainian General Staff said that the incident in Belgorod arose as a result of a “common use” of obsolete ammunition by Russian military personnel.
