On 12 August 2024, evacuation of the civilian population from the Krasnoyaruzsky district was begun due to "enemy activity", according to the governor of Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, as a result of the Ukrainian military incursion during the Russo-Ukrainian War.[6] He claimed 11 thousands have left the district, which is approximately three quarters of the population of the district.[7]
