A Ukrainian attack in the Russian border town of Belgorod causes the partial collapse of an entire apartment building, injuring at least 17 people, the Russian Health Minister said. The images show smoke billowing from a large pile of rubble under the gap where residential neighborhoods once stood, from which exasperated local residents move vehicles and boulders in an attempt to aid the ongoing rescue mission. “The city and district of Belgorod were subjected to massive shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Following a blow, an apartment building collapsed.” This was stated by the governor of Belgorod Oblast, Vyacheslav Gladkov, on his Telegram channel, quoted by the Ria-Novosti agency. Russian agencies are currently only reporting injuries from the collapse, which according to the authorities was caused by fragments of a Ukrainian missile shot down on the city. Rescuers pulled 16 people alive from under the rubble. Russia, meanwhile, is attacking across the entire Ukrainian front.
