Shelling in Russian city kills several after 18-hour barrage across Ukraine
Shelling in the centre of the Russian border city of Belgorod killed several people and injured 45 more on Saturday, emergency services said.
Russian officials accused Kyiv of carrying out the attack, which took place the day after an 18-hour aerial Russian barrage across Ukraine killed at least 39 civilians.
Images of Belgorod on social media showed cars set alight and plumes of black smoke rising among damaged buildings as air raid sirens sounded. One strike hit close to a public ice rink in the heart of the city.

not nice, is it!
Gaza and us hypocrisy mean Ukraine cant be criticised in the west fir these retaliation strikes … which imo are illegal
Meanwhile Putler & Zokerlensky are resting in their mansions safe and secured
And Russia have gone crying to the UN claiming it was a terrorist attack by Ukraine lol
So will the UN now hold an emergency session to condemn Ukraine? If not, they will be announcing to the world their own total hypocrisy!
that a lie, Russia did it yourself to blame Kyiv after yesterday heavy attack on civillians in many citys of Ukraine
🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂
No hospitals or maternity wards involved 😂😂😂
Ukrainians have been bombarded on there streets for nearly three years. Maybe Russian public will understand it is War not a special operation. Putin is to blame for deaths of innocent people in Ukraine and Russia.
Shameful to Russia and Putin are murderers!!
Is Belgrod slightly north to where the Russian army it is , and where the 20% of the land annexed under the Russian territory? I mean what are we doing?
👍🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺☝️
Damage was done by debris from Russian air defense. Thats the big difference
Ukraine took out military targets, what you see is the result of Russian air defences shooting over the city…..
Censor-happy corrupt channel.
how can a RUSSIAN city be in the Ukraine? or am I missing something, I'm from the UK
What are they blind the army they are fighting in the donbass
Had yer back
Just remember, when NATO attacks another country civilian casualties are far far higher, with far less legitimate targets hit. And i bet Ukraine are wishing they stuck to the minsk agreement now! But yeh, Russia bad, cheap energy bad, diplomacy bad, blah blah.
Смотрю тут радуются смерти гражданских и тупых обстрелов просто мирных до чего же все оскатинились Англию и США бог когда то накажет катастрофой
I did wonder why Russia immediately went to UN regarding this reprisal as you'd think they'd expect to be hit back after yesterday's apocalyptic air raid on Ukraine. Now I understand….just saw a report that Russia accuses Ukraine of using NATO weaponry (cluster shells) in this attack, which, of course, is a violation of agreement with NATO. Gonna get heated over the next few days!
Forza ucraini 🇺🇦
Beautiful! Burn babay burn!🔥
💪🇺🇦
This is what happens when you go to war!
Himars?
Mark Arthur Harris' famous quote?
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
You are forgetting to mention that all civilian damage was caused by Ukrainian air defense systems that hit some rockets
In all fairness Ukraine wanting to join NATO was considered by Russia as an existential threat. Russia has been giving NATO fair warning since the 1960's. This action is in direct self-defense of Russian territory! And the coup d'etat of 2014 did not help.
Why is Putin entertaining this nonsense?
