Residents of Belgorod, Russia, are complaining that public bomb shelters are so filthy they are unusable during missile or drone attack alerts. A Russian soldier on leave described stepping in human feces in one shelter, while others report broken bottles, glass, and a pervasive stench. Specific locations cited include shelters near the city administration, on Mikhailovskoye Highway near a Magnit store, and on Michurina Street. Citizens are demanding municipal services clean the shelters, which they say are not being monitored.
