Belgorod's regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on Tuesday that the counter-terrorist operation which was launched yesterday to ensure the safety of civilians after a Ukrainian sabotage group had infiltrated the region had just ended. 

"A decision has been made to end the regime of the counter-terrorist operation in the Belgorod region. The relevant document has been published," Gladkov said on Telegram.

Footage published by the Russian Ministry of Defense showed destroyed US-supplied military equipment the Ukrainian forces left before retreating back to Ukraine.
