Grayvoron residents plead for protection

Residents of the Russian border city Grayvoron are appealing to Belgorod Region Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov for protection, describing their city as a 'gray zone' unfit for life. They report that drone attacks remain frequent, but mobile internet outages and the blocking of Telegram prevent timely threat alerts, increasing civilian casualties and property damage. The psychological toll is severe, with locals citing constant fear, stress-related illnesses, and sleep deprivation as the city's population dwindles due to both the attacks and economic collapse.
