Ukraine launches deadly drone attack on Russian city of Belgorod

A missile struck a busy road in the centre of a Russian city early on Saturday during an attack by Ukraine, crashing down on cars and leaving them burning while people ran for their lives.

Plumes of smoke could be seen billowing from the streets of Belgorod, close to the border with Ukraine, as vehicles went up in flames and rubble littered the road.

Attacks later in the day on the city killed 10 people and injured 45 more, the Kremlin said, adding that Vladimir Putin had been briefed about the situation.
“President Vladimir Putin has been informed about the Ukrainian armed forces’ strike on residential neighbourhoods in Belgorod,” spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the TASS news agency.

It remains unclear whether the strike on the road in Belgorod was caused by a Ukrainian missile or errant Russian air defences.

  1. Все, кто поставляет оружие киевским нацитеppористам обязательно ответят за это. Знайте, что сегодня они вашим оружием ударили по городской новогодней елке на центральной площади Белгорода, убили мирных взрослых и детей. Вы в этом виноваты ровно так же как и террористы из страны 404.

  2. yesterday someone wrote that Ukrainians allegedly bomb only military facilities, unlike Russians. But what do we see in the photo?! Civilians are being bombed, there are no military or tanks nearby! Ukrainians are ordinary terrorists. They have no success on the battlefield, their counteroffensive has failed, so they are making such a mess!

  3. If people used their's vote to intelligent man, then nothing happened, but unfortunately, Ukrainian have chosen idiot like Zelesky he is a puppet his master is Biden, and still the Ukrainian army leader has chance to change the president

  5. It’s sad but Ukraine have to do this, blame Putin, Ukraine need to do leaflets drop so the news starved Russian people can see what sick Putins lies are about, 💪🇺🇦🇺🇦💪
