Fighters from the Chechen 'Akhmat' unit have been accused of looting homes in the village of Novaya Tavolzhanka in Russia's Belgorod region. According to local reports, soldiers arrived on April 9, broke into houses and garages, and stole valuables like generators while threatening residents who protested. The local military police responded but were reportedly powerless to intervene, with villagers stating the officers were told to leave and were too afraid to act. The head of the local administration has also been unable to address the situation, leaving residents feeling abandoned amidst ongoing drone attacks and shelling in the border area.
