Ukraine-Krieg: Tote und Verletzte bei Angriff auf russische Stadt Belgorod

During a Ukrainian drone strike on the Russian city of Belgorod, at least three people were killed and 25 injured, according to official reports. The governor of the region, Alexander Shuvalov, informed this via Telegram. Several apartment blocks, an administrative building, and shops were reported to have been damaged. Social media images suggested multiple fires in the city, which is located roughly 30 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.

The military objectives of the attack were not disclosed. However, Belgorod serves as a logistical hub for supplying Russian troops engaged in attacks on Ukrainian cities, including Charkiv and the industrial region of Donbass. Consequently, Belgorod has been repeatedly targeted, affecting energy supplies and other civilian infrastructure.

Russian authorities also reported Ukrainian drone strikes on Noworossijsk and Gelendsk in the Black Sea region. In Odessa, a Ukrainian port city in the south, at least six people were injured by Russian rocket attacks overnight, reported Mayor Serhiy Lyssak on Telegram. In Charkiv in eastern Ukraine, two people were killed and at least 21 wounded.
