No significant military incidents, official statements, or frontline developments were reported in the Belgorod region or elsewhere during the 29-minute reporting window from 8:15:44 PM to 8:45:35 PM UTC on February 2, 2026, according to available sources including Supernova+ and AviVector. The new sources in this period included an AviVector post identifying an Il-76MD heavy military transport aircraft from Ukraine's 25th Transport Aviation Brigade conducting cargo delivery flights, dated to summer 2025, with no connection to current operations. A separate post citing BILD reported on Russia's economic challenges, including energy revenues at 22% of the state budget and 40% of expenditures directed to war efforts, based on figures available to the German federal government. These economic details, shared via an X post by @fpiatov, noted Russia's dependency on China for 87% of war-critical industrial goods and a halving of sovereign wealth fund resources since the invasion, but provided no specific timing or official Russian confirmation within the window. This quiet period follows the prior window's Russian drone strike on a vehicle in Raihorodok, Donetsk Oblast, at coordinates 48.90336, 37.71890, as geolocated by @GeoConfirmed, @UAControlMap, @AndrewPerpetua, and @zarGEOINT.
