Belgorod and the surrounding region now come under almost daily shelling and drone attacks from Ukraine. It is the closest Russian city to the frontier and a launch site for heavy missile strikes on Kharkiv city, which is just 35km from the border, and nearby towns and villages.
“The occupiers continue to shell the civilian population. Over the last day, the number of major artillery and air strikes increased. Vovchansk ... and all points on the northern border are under enemy fire almost 24 hours a day,” Kharkiv governor Oleh Synehubov said on Sunday.
