Ukraine war: Injuries in attack on Russian border town Belgorod
Attack on Belgorod: Drones strike, residential buildings burn. What's behind the attacks on the Russian supply hub?
A Ukrainian drone strike on the Russian border city of Belgorod resulted in at least six deaths and 27 injuries, according to latest official reports. Governor Alexander Schuwajew informed this via Telegram, detailing that several residential blocks, an administrative building, and shops had been damaged. Social media images suggested multiple fires in the city, located about 30 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
No military targets of the attack were disclosed. However, Belgorod serves as a logistical hub for supplying Russian troops who are attacking Ukraine's major city of Kharkiv and attacking the industrial region of Donbass. Consequently, Belgorod is frequently targeted, impacting its energy supply and other civilian objects. Russian authorities also reported Ukrainian drone strikes on the Black Sea port city of Novorossiysk and Gelendskikh.
In the Ukrainian port city of Odessa, at least six people were injured due to Russian rocket attacks during the night, as reported by Mayor Serhij Lyssak on Telegram. In Kharkiv, eastern Ukraine, two people were killed and at least 21 were injured.
