On Sunday, Ukraine launched a devastating attack on the Russian city of Belgorod, which is only 30 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. Moscow said at least 20 people had died. Two children are also among the dead. 111 people were injured.

The Russia-Ukraine war has been going on for almost two years. So far, Moscow has fired at least 122 missiles at neighboring countries. 36 drone strikes. Thousands of Ukrainians died. Kyiv has also retaliated against Russia. But comparatively less. This is the first time they launched such a big attack. The Ukrainian military said it was their biggest airstrike.

Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov claimed that Ukraine attacked the residential area. Sirens started sounding immediately after the attack. Everyone quickly ran to safety. Even that could not prevent loss of life. According to administration sources, Russian anti-aircraft units destroyed 13 Ukrainian rockets, shot down 32 drones. Otherwise, the amount of damage would have increased. The Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement today that Ukraine used cluster bombs. They will be punished for this crime.

Russian state news agency RIA reported that President Vladimir Putin sent a medical team to Belgorod. Russia has accused Ukraine of "terrorist activities" at the UN Security Council. Ukraine and its allies countered that Russia started the war.

Note that the Russian attack on Ukraine continues. Last night there were multiple explosions in Kharkiv and Sumy.
