On December 30, 2023, twenty five people died and over a hundred were injured in a Ukrainian attack on a building housing a cafe and a bakery in Belgorod.

Subsequently, the bombings occurred on more occasions, and authorities decided to evacuate hundreds of people and extended the Christmas holidays for schoolchildren, among other security measures.
