Three people have been killed and at least nine others injured in Ukraine's latest attack on the Russian border region of Belgorod, according to its governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov. The strike hit the village of Maslova Pristan early on Wednesday, Gladkov said. Emergency workers were searching for people feared trapped under rubble.
It marks the third consecutive day Ukraine has attacked the region, leaving thousands without power and at least two others dead. While Ukraine has not commented on these specific strikes, it has a history of targeting Russian locations, including Belgorod, during the ongoing conflict.
In retaliation, Russian strikes have also resulted in power outages in multiple Ukrainian regions. The conflict has intensified since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. As winter approaches, the pattern of attacks indicates a strategic targeting of critical infrastructure on both sides.
Information shared by Gladkov indicated significant damage in affected areas, with numerous homes, vehicles, and power lines wrecked due to the attacks. The recent onslaught has significantly impacted local communities, highlighting the widespread ramifications of this ongoing conflict.
Reports suggest that nearly 40,000 residents across several municipalities have been affected by power outages, illustrating the disruption caused by this violence. As Ukraine ramps up its offensive, particularly on Russian energy facilities, the humanitarian and infrastructural toll continues to rise.
