Residents of Belgorod filmed hiding helicopters after explosions at the city's oil depot

Residents of Belgorod posted a video showing at least two Mi-24 multi-purpose attack helicopters returning to Ukrainian airspace. This happened almost immediately after a series of powerful explosions at the Belgorod oil depot, as a result of which a severe fire started.

On the presented video frames, you can see how the Mi-24 helicopters are moving towards the Ukrainian border. Moreover, so far there is no official data on whether the helicopters were able to safely escape back into the airspace of Ukraine or whether they were subsequently detected and hit by air defense systems.

Judging by the fact that attack multi-purpose helicopters move at low altitude, the probability of their detection by air defense means is quite low, especially since, according to the governor of the Belgorod Region Vyacheslav Gladkov, during the attack on the oil depot, the helicopters were able to avoid their detection precisely thanks to the flight to small height.

According to official data, two people were injured as a result of the attack on the oil depot in Belgorod - both are employees of the enterprise, however, at the moment the situation with the fire that started at the oil depot is extremely difficult - in addition to using the main forces in the Belgorod region, units of the Ministry of Emergency Situations from neighboring regions.
