At Least 22 Civilians Killed, Wounded In Ukrainian Attack On Russia’s Belgorod (Videos)
At least 22 civilians were killed or wounded on May 12 after Kiev forces shelled the Russian region of Belgorod, which is located on the border with Ukraine. | “The city of Belgorod and the Belgorod Region were subjected to a massive shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” the region’s governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, wrote on Telegram. Gladkov added that “an entire section of an apartment building – from the tenth to the first floor – collapsed as a result of a direct hit by a shell” in the Kharkovskaya Mountain residential area of Belgorod city. ● Videos from the scene showed a whole section of the ten-story building collapsing as a result of a strike and first responders digging through the rubble. The Telegram news channel 112 said that at least 20 people could be trapped under the rubble. It added that residents were being evacuated from the apartment block, as there is danger that its other sections may also collapse. There have so far been no official announcements about casualties, but Mash Telegram news channel reported that at least seven people were killed and 15 others wounded in the Ukrainian attack.
