The Russian Ministry of Defense vowed to retaliate for the killings in Belgorod, claiming that the Ukrainian army used cluster munitions in the attack. "These crimes will not go unpunished," the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement about the attack on the town, about 30 kilometers (19 miles) north of Russia's border with Ukraine. According to the New York Times, citing Russian officials, at least 18 people died. Among the dead, 2 children and more than 100 people were injured.

On Saturday night, multiple explosions were heard in Ukrainian cities from Kharkiv and Sumy near the Russian border to Kherson in the south, causing a major storm.


TASS said the Russian Foreign Ministry called a meeting of the United Nations Security Council on Saturday to discuss the attack.


The Ministry of Defense said that air defense forces intercepted missiles and rockets fired by Ukrainian armed forces and some explosions occurred in the city. The attack was said to have been carried out using Ukrainian Orka missiles armed with cluster bombs and Czech-made Vampire missiles.

Russia's claims could not be verified and Ukraine did not speak directly. Ukrainian news agency Suspilne had previously reported that sources had reported that Kiev forces had targeted military targets in the region and that Russian air defenses had caused casualties.


Ukrainian drones flew over various regions of Russia at night before the Belgorod attack, in which Moscow launched a massive bomb attack on Ukraine on Friday, killing many people. These posts indicate that the war, which will last for 22 months, will intensify as we enter 2024.


President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told TASS news that he was briefed on the situation and instructed doctors to go from Moscow to Belgorod.


According to the state RIA Novosti news agency, the attack was carried out on residences, shops, the main city center and the medical school.
