Four people died Saturday when Ukrainian military forces targeted a public facility in Russia’s Belgorod border area, according to regional authorities.
Regional Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov announced via Telegram that the strike hit what he described as a “social site” in Smorodino village, though he did not provide additional specifics about the targeted building. Emergency responders recovered the remains of two women from beneath the debris, Gladkov reported.
The governor shared images showing flames engulfing structures in a developed area of the community.
The Belgorod region has experienced repeated Ukrainian military strikes throughout the ongoing four-year conflict that began with Russia’s comprehensive invasion.
