Massive Explosion in Belgorod Being Blamed on Ukrainian Forces
Published 2 years ago
After an explosion in the border city of Belgorod inside of Russia, Russian forces are laying the blame on Ukrainian Armed Forces. According to Russia, the strikes were directed towards a Russian residential area.
According to the regional governor, at least 3 civilians were killed in a Ukrainian strike that targeted a residential district inside of the border city of Belgorod this morning. Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov also stated that there was a number of explosions inside of the city. Nearly 400,000 people currently reside in the city tht is just 25 miles north of the border with Ukraine. At least 11 apartment buildings and 39 houses were damaged, including five that were destroyed, Gladkov stated.
At this time, Ukraine has yet to make any remarks on the attacks. No one outside of Russian state media has verified that these attacks were in fact carried out by Ukrainian Armed Forces. These attacks have occurred directly after Russian forces were reported crossing the Siverskiy Donets river and closing on the last Eastern Bastion still in control of the Ukrainian military.
While some suspect that these blasts are a false flag attack by Russian forces to garnish more support for the war in Ukraine, others believe that this was in fact an act of defiance by the Ukrainian military. I doubt that we will ever get the truth of the situation as the conflict itself has turned into an information war almost as much as it has turned into a kinetic conflict on the ground inside of Ukraine.
