The Russian city of Belgorod located 30 kilometers from the border with Ukraine since has been constantly shelled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine February 24. However, the last night has become the most dangerous for the city residents since the start of the Russian special operation in Ukraine.

At about 3 a.m. local time, the Ukrainian military launched massive strikes on the city of Belgorod. As a result of the shelling, at least 5 civilians were killed, about 5 more were injured, including a 10-year-old child. According to Russian media, 3 members of a family from Kharkov, who moved to Russia after the outbreak of hostilities, died as a result of the attack. Civilian infrastructure was severely damaged. At least 40 houses were damaged, 5 of them were completely destroyed.

According to the governor of the Belgorod region Mr Gladkov, the attack was carried out with Ukrainian Tochka-U missiles.

“All the Tochka-U missiles fired by Ukraine at Belgorod were shot down, but one of them fell on a residential block after being damaged. Then there was its detonation and explosion,” the governor claimed.

The central streets of Chumichov and Mayakovsky were under attack. It can be supposed that the target of the strikes was the hospital for military veterans located nearby. However, the facility was not reportedly damaged.

Ukrainian media and Kiev officials tried to spread fake news that the Russian military struck at its own civilians. These claims are allegedly confirmed by a photograph of a Russian missile spotted in one of the damaged buildings.

In fact, the photos show the main engine of two-caliber missiles installed on Russian Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile systems. After destroying the target, it separates from the missile warhead and falls to the ground. Since the interception was carried out over the city, it fell on one of the buildings. However, the engine does not cause significant damage, since it does not carry explosives, and the missile’s warhead is only about 20 kg.

At the same time, fragments of Ukrainian Tochka-U missiles were found in the area.

The city of Belgorod was not the only target of the Ukrainian military. Last night, Russian air defense systems shot down several Ukrainian drones in the Kursk region. In the morning, the AFU also fired mortars at the border village of Tetkino.

The Ukrainian attacks on the civilian population in Russia do not seem to pursue any military goals. They are of great political importance and threaten local residents. However, the military command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is well aware that Russian cities are well protected by Russian air defense systems and have to have any more important goals to carry out such provocations. Thus in this case, the process is more important than the goals. Kiev is most likely testing Russian air defense systems, seeking to find any weaknesses and transmit the necessary information to its foreign “partners” and NATO “military advisers”.

Exactly. And these useless and shameless attacks on civilians will not stop the special military operation. That operation will continue, and will achieve its (extended) goals.

WhitePride1488

This is all done by direction from America on purpose to provoke Russia into a bigger war.

NATO's PROXYTUTE

This ominous sign should serve as a serious warning to Moscow that none of its territory is safe from Ukrainian shelling considering any part of Ukraine is also an open target to reciprocate the exchange of hostilities, given the worsening development, kremlin has no other choice but to eliminate the comedian today and start rebuilding Kiev tomorrow.

He’s not there. Numerous articles have said he has left Kiev. He is either in Poland or somewhere in JewSA.

I’m convinced all of that will come. They are just remaining focused on completing Donbas liberation. Much of the fighting has been done by LPR and DPR forces. When Donbas is done they will need to remain for security purposes. Their role is done. We should monitor whether more professional Russian units are mobilized to take over fighting in the Northeast and Southwest. A lot is unknown now, but they cannot leave the current NATO regime in power or all has been for naught.

The Kiev regime are in a desperate position trying to distract the Russian military by targeting yet again civilians in the hope that Russia will respond in kind. The Russian military will remain focused on military and associated targets. Be it long or be it short Those involved in attacks of this nature on civilians will be tracked down and held to account for their actions.

… “Kiev is most likely testing Russian air defense systems, seeking to find any weaknesses and transmit the necessary information to its foreign “partners” and NATO “military advisers”. …

Speaking of foreign military partners… Doesn’t get anymore insane than this P0$ https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/mike-pompeos-revealing-hudson-institute-speech

And if Americans truly cared about not being wiped off the map, they would be protesting in every State Capital and in Washington well beyond the 4th of July “celebration” with the “indefensible” tyranny https://www.ae911truth.org/evidence/technical-articles/articles-by-ae911truth/845-nist-confirms-its-building-7-report-is-indefensible-part-1-of-5-the-omitted-web-stiffeners of May 31, 2022 “coming home”… that NO ONE in the mainstream media will ever touch with that event that made the likes of Mike Pompeo “possible”

So sad that the Russian Federation and it’s Press refuse to tell that truth that got them here as well!

not only you have ears, but also the enemy!! Do not forget that Putin is a spy, and acts accordingly. Are you used to that your rulers allegedly share information, in fact they lie to you, do you like to hear lies? Until the end of the war, you will learn little, then they will make documentaries, they are already being filmed along the way, then they will be shown! We have a proverb: “Chatterbox is a godsend for a spy!”

Need to designate the US and UK as state sponsors of terrorism.

There will be a lot of people hauled in front of war crimes tribunals. Won’t end well for them. Hope the Russians start snatching the leadership off the streets of Kiev. No place should be safe. Anyway, when the NATO whores pull off this shit it simply ensures Russia will continue this operation well past Donbas. All of Ukraine will be demilitarized.

USA prevented denacification of Germany in 1945, this is the result, but I think this time war will end when Russia will liberate all Slavs fom NATO pact.

“A village a week” strategy doesn’t seem to cut it. What went wrong with surrounding & then leaving Kiev? Didn’t Russian military know that all those Ukra, helping them during their stay there ,will be and were SBU targets, see Bucha and of course blaming Russians. Soviets didn’t stopped by saving Stalingrad hoping for a Peace and agreement w. Hitler. Is the Russian military governed by “like to be westerners” like Javlinskij, or Titov damaging economists, Ms. Nabiullina, chief of R. Central Bank, effectively loosing Russian foreign currencies in London, or Ms. Simonyan, chief of RT (spending a year in 1996 in US at “Future Leaders Program, org. by US State Dept> oh, Obama was there apparently too), etc. Russian military did better during a week recently in Kazachstan (although now their Tokayev denounced Russia for saving part of Novorossija). Better still Soviets did back in sixties in Czechoslovakia, few planes in Prague, suddenly Czech government had a”meeting” in Moscow, issued orders to CS military, tanks were there but not much shooting and no mass graves! Why there was NO Zelensky & his US advisers meeting in Moscow at the beginning of March, not many people would die and the present goals could be achieved w. alternative Ukra Government, which should have been ready by 24th February?

The real goal for Russia is not DPR or LPR liberarion or Uki dmilitarization, it’s to crash US economy slow but steady. Once US and EU economy systems colapses due to lack of fuel resourses and price inflation the great depresion from 1930 will be like nice vacation. US will split state by state starting with soutern to norther states. Will be no more USA, will be 50 independent new countries on the north Americas map
