Belgorod targeted
Three dead in Ukrainian shelling in border region
Three civilians have been killed by Ukrainian shelling in the western Russian region of Belgorod. In addition, four people were injured in a nearby village, the governor of the region reported on Monday.
An eleven-year-old girl had been taken to hospital and both feet of the child's mother had been amputated, Vyacheslav Gladkov wrote on Telegram. One of the three fatalities was a minor. Towns close to the border, such as Belgorod, often come under fire from the Ukrainian side.
Conversely, Russian troops have repeatedly shelled Kharkiv, formerly the second largest city in Ukraine with a population of 760,000, since the start of the war. This has also caused many casualties (see video above).
Glide bombs hit Zaporizhzhya
One of the latest Russian airstrikes has now occurred in the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhya, where 16 people have been injured, according to local authorities. In total, several residential buildings, two kindergartens and several cars were damaged by the night-time attack, according to the Ukrainian police.
This was the first time the city had been hit with so-called glide bombs. Glide bombs are dropped by Russian fighter jets near the front line and then guided over dozens of kilometers to the target. These bombs, which contain several hundred kilograms of explosives, have already caused serious damage in Kharkiv and other places. Western weapons against Russian air bases close to the front are intended to prevent these attacks.
