Another 2 fabs fell in the Belgorod region, ASTRA found out.

On February 3, FAB was found near the village of Setnoye in the Korochansky district. On February 6, a Russian aerial bomb fell near the village of Khryashchevoye in the same area of the Belgorod region. The bombs did not explode, and no one was injured, ASTRA’s sources in the region’s emergency services added.

Thus, according to ASTRA, these are at least 10 aerial bombs, dropped by Russian aircraft on the territory of the Russian Federation in 2026. As ASTRA previously found out, there were at least 143 aerial bombs in 2025 dropped by Russia on its own and occupied territories. In 2024, at least 165 Russian FAB bombs fell on these territories.

To counter Ukrainian air defenses, the Russian army began equipping Soviet FAB bombs with UMPK complexes. After such an update, wings and satellite guidance appear on the fabs, allowing them to launch bombs directly from the territory of the Russian Federation. But due to the imperfection of the system, aerial bombs do not always reach their targets and fall on Russian territories. The Russian authorities are trying to hide such facts, and when civilians are among the victims of the fall of Russian bombs, they report that the reasons are in the attacks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

In January 2026, the Fighterbomber Z-channel, which is close to the Russian Aerospace Forces, aditted that Russian aerial bombs regularly fall in Belgorod. He also expressed his assumptions about why this is happening.
