A missile strike on the Russian city of Belgorod near the Ukraine border has claimed the lives of five people, including a child, and left 18 others injured, according to a Russian official. This incident marks the latest exchange of long-range missile and rocket fire between the two countries. The attack on Belgorod follows an earlier strike by Russia, where cruise and ballistic missiles were fired at multiple regions in Ukraine. Tragically, four people lost their lives in an apartment building as a result of this midnight strike in Ukraine's northeast.
Out of the 18 people injured in Belgorod, five were children, as reported by regional Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov. The attack targeted a shopping center and a school stadium, causing significant casualties and damage. Roman Starovoit, the governor of Russia's Kursk region neighboring Belgorod, provided further details on the attack through Telegram, expressing his concern over the number of dead and wounded.
