A skyscraper in the Russian border town of Belgorod was destroyed after a Ukrainian attack, Reuters reports, citing the city’s governor.
It has not yet been confirmed by the Russian side whether the attack led to the loss of life. Ukraine rarely confirms such attacks.
Ukrainian media he says, however, that Russia itself is behind the attack and that it is a so-called “false flag” operation. It is not unusual for “false flag” operations in warfare, e Russia has repeatedly been accused of preparing such attacks.
Since the start of the war, Russia has repeatedly accused Ukraine of being behind the attacks on Russian territory, particularly in the Belgorod region.
