Two people have been killed and several others wounded in a shelling of the Russian city of Belgorod by Ukrainian forces, local governor Vyacheslav Gladkov has said.
The capital of Belgorod Region was targeted with an RM-70 Vampire multiple rocket launch system, supplied to Kiev by the Czech Republic, Gladkov wrote on Telegram on Saturday.
At least eight rockets heading towards the city – home to 334,000 people – were intercepted by air defenses, the governor said, but some projectiles made it through.
“Sadly, two people were killed: a man and a woman,” the governor wrote. The male victim was a truck driver. After his vehicle was hit by a rocket, it crashed into a bus, Gladkov said, adding that none of the passengers were hurt.
Elsewhere in the city, a woman was killed by an explosion, while her son suffered severe injuries. Medics are currently fighting for his life, according to the governor. Two other people suffered head injuries, he added.
Windows were smashed in seven apartment blocks, while at least 15 vehicles were damaged in the shelling, Gladkov reported.
