Poroz (Russian: Пороз) is a village in Grayvoronsky Municipal District, Belgorod Oblast, Russia, about 2.8 kilometres (1.7 mi) northeast of the Russia–Ukraine border.
The village is located in the southwest of Belgorod Oblast, in the southwestern part of the Central Russian Upland, west of the 14K-14 motorway, at a distance of about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) kilometres (in a straight line) northwest of the town of Grayvoron, the administrative centre of the district. The absolute height is 173 metres above sea level.
On the morning of 10 August 2024, a video began to circulate on the Internet showing that Armed Forces of Ukraine had likely entered Poroz during the August 2024 Kursk Oblast incursion.[4][5][6]
Russian milbloggers claimed that Ukrainian forces also conducted isolated raids into Poroz and Mokraya Orlovka (west of Belgorod City and along the international border), Belgorod Oblast on August 10, but that Ukrainian forces do not maintain positions in these settlements.
