Russia today alleged that a Ukrainian attack on the city of Belgorod claimed the lives of twenty persons, two of them were minors. 111 people were also hurt in the event, which happened close to the Ukrainian border, according to a Reuters report. The strike occurred a few days after the Ukraine Air Force reported that Russia had fired 36 drones and 122 missiles against targets in Ukraine. The largest aircraft bombardment of the nearly two-year-old war, according to officials, had occurred.
Vyacheslav Gladkov, the region’s governor, stated that the strike happened in a residential area and that air raid sirens were activated, causing residents to take cover. The Russian Ministry of Emergencies provided a full account of the deaths and damage, while the Ministry of Defense declared that the attack “would not go unpunished,” according to the report.
As for the strike, which Russia’s UN envoy called a “terrorist act” by Ukraine, the UN Security Council met on Saturday (local time) at Russia’s request to address it. On the other hand, Kyiv and its supporters retaliated by reminding the world that Moscow started the war. Russia has used Belgorod, which is 600 kilometers from Moscow and around 30 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, as a vital base for military operations against Ukraine.
