08:29 17.01.2024 (Updated: 08:52 17.01.2024) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Two days before the New Year, Ukraine shelled the Russian town of Belgorod. At least 25 people were killed and more than 100 got injured. Russian President Vladimir Putin called it a terrorist attack. On January 8, Ukraine launched another attack on the town that resulted in three people being injured.
Russian air defense systems destroyed four rockets fired using the RM-70 Vampire multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) and intercepted two
Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over the Belgorod Region overnight, the Russian Defense Ministry said Wednesday.
"This morning, yet another attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack on facilities in the territory of the Russian Federation with the use of the RM-70 Vampire multiple launch rocket system and aircraft-type UAVs was foiled," the ministry said in a statement, adding that four rockets were destroyed and two drones were intercepted over the territory of the Belgorod Region.
Furthermore, later that night, Russian air defense systems destroyed another seven Ukrainian Vilkha Rockets and four UAVs over the region.
Belgorod Region Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said earlier in the day that seven Ukrainian drones were shot down over the region and the city of Belgorod, adding that the preliminary information showed that there were no casualties. The rocket danger was declared in Belgorod earlier on Wednesday, the Belgorod city mayor's office said, urging residents to stay at home and stay away from windows.
"On January 17, around 2.40 am Moscow time [23:40 GMT on Tuesday], an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack on targets in the territory of the Russian Federation using the Vilkha multiple launch rocket systems and UAVs was foiled. Russian air defense systems on duty destroyed seven rockets and four Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles over the Belgorod Region," the ministry said in a statement.
Gladkov said air defense systems in the region again activated later in the day, having destroyed several targets in the air.
"Our air defense systems activated again over Belgorod and the Belgorod Region. Several aerial targets were shot down. According to preliminary data, there were no casualties," the governor said on Telegram.
He added that the glazing of several residential buildings was damaged in the
Belgorod Region, adding that response services were en route to the scenes.
On December 30, the Ukrainian military shelled the center of Belgorod, using two rockets with cluster munitions and Czech-made MLRS shells. According to the latest data, 25 people were killed, including five children, and more than 100 were injured. Dozens of residential buildings and civilian facilities were damaged.
On the next day, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced a
retaliatory strike on military targets in Ukraine, including in Kharkov, as a result of which the Ukrainian side suffered significant losses.
