"An attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out terrorist attacks using French-made Hammer guided bombs and US-made HARM anti-radar missiles against targets on Russian territory was thwarted," the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
The ministry added that "Russian air defense systems destroyed four guided bombs and two anti-radar missiles over the Belgorod region."
According to the TASS news agency, several explosions were heard in the regional capital of Belgorod.
Ukraine, which has been facing a Russian offensive for two years, regularly retaliates by attacking Russian regions, targeting in particular energy facilities.
Kyiv had promised to take the fighting to Russian soil in retaliation for the numerous bombings on its territory.
