Gruesome scenes in the southern Russian city of Belgorod: rockets target the city, but not all of them can be intercepted. There have already been confirmed fatalities, including a small child. The Kremlin is angry and blames Ukraine for the bloodshed.
Belgorod is located not far from the Ukrainian border and has approximately 350,000 souls. Many people no longer feel safe here. Since the Russian attack on Ukraine, which will soon celebrate its second anniversary, there have been repeated serious attacks.
This time the accident happened in broad daylight. The Russian defense system said rockets were fired over the area around 12:30 local time on Thursday. Moscow suspects that Ukraine is behind the attacks.
Here a bullet hits the shopping center:
Some bullets could have been intercepted. Seven private houses and five apartment buildings were damaged by the attacks, said the region’s governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, commenting on the sad situation. A shopping center was also severely damaged.
Balance: 5 dead, 18 injured
The attack killed at least five people, including a child, Gladkow said. According to the “Bel.ru” edition, he was probably taken for a walk by his mother in a cart. According to the information, the woman also did not survive the shelling. According to information, 18 people were injured, including five children.
It didn’t take long for the Kremlin to respond violently. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova assured a comprehensive investigation into the incident.
Residents feel abandoned
The most violent attack to date on Belgorod took place on December 30 last year. A massive Russian missile attack on Ukraine was followed by massive shelling of the city. 25 people were killed and more than a hundred people were injured. Time and time again, critical voices are heard from residents: they do not feel safe and the state is not doing enough for the well-being of its citizens, according to the desperate messages.
