Shuvayev said the attack hit a business building and caused fires at seven warehouses in the area.

Russian online retailer Ozon separately said a logistics hub and sorting facility in Belgorod were attacked, triggering a fire and leaving people injured. It was not immediately clear whether Ozon and Shuvayev were referring to the same facility.

The latest strike came amid continued attacks between Russia and Ukraine on each other's infrastructure, including ports, energy facilities and logistics hubs. Both sides have denied deliberately targeting civilians.

Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and the two countries have since carried out frequent strikes across the front lines and against infrastructure.

Separately, a Russian drone attack caused an explosion at an ammunition stockpile outside Kyiv on Friday, killing at least 38 people, according to the information provided.

Russia's largest lender, Sberbank, has also approved the restructuring of loans worth 6.8 billion roubles ($79 million) for merchants selling goods through Ozon and Wildberries, according to a bank official cited by Russian state news agency TASS.
