MOSCOW: An apartment building largely collapsed in the Russian border town of Belgorod on Sunday, causing at least 13 incidents and injuring 20 different people, authorities said. They blamed Ukrainian shelling for the property’s death.
Firefighters fled the scene when a portion of the ceiling crashed to the ground while searching for survivors among the relics of the property’s stair on video. According to the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry, 13 body have already been recovered from dust.
Russia’s Investigative Committee, the country’s leading law enforcement agency, said in a speech that the 10- account tower had been hit by Ukrainian shelling.
Eventually, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed that the building had been harmed by Tochka-U TRC weapon fragments. Additionally, it stated that two drones that had been destroyed in a separate event later on Sunday were shot down by weather defenses over the Belgorod area.
As volunteers worked, there were more air raid updates throughout Belgorod. The town also came under fire Saturday night, killing one people and wounding 29 people, Belgorod Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov said.
Since May 2023, robots have regularly attacked places in western Russia, with Russian authorities blaming Kyiv. Officials in Ukraine rarely accept responsibility for strikes on Crimean Peninsula or Russian territory.
The Belgorod place, on Russia’s eastern borders, has been the target of a large number of attacks. Although most combination- boundary shelling is seen in remote areas, attacks have also been seen on the country’s capital.
In December 2023, shelling in the center of Belgorod area killed 25 people, prompting officials to began erecting people homes.
