Details: Ten residential buildings in Shebekino will be fitted with nets. Gladkov said that the nets are made from a special material but still might not be very durable.

Russian media reported that oil refineries in Kapotnya in Moscow Oblast and Novoshakhtinsk in Rostov Oblast had been fitted with similar nets earlier.

Shebekino is a town in Russia’s Belgorod Oblast with a prewar population of nearly 40,000. Attacks on the area have become more frequent in the second year of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
