BREAKING NEWS: Russian aircraft bombed an electrical substation in Belgorod, leaving the city center without power.

The Russian army continues to commit war crimes both in Ukraine and on Russian territory.

Russian aircraft bombed the energy infrastructure of Belgorod, Russia . As a result, power was temporarily lost in the city center and suburbs, according to the Belgorod opposition public group “Ashes. Belgorod . “

“A powerful explosion rocked Belgorod, causing power outages in the city center. The explosion occurred near an electrical substation on Storozhevaya Street in Belgorod’s Eastern District. According to Pepel, a Russian aerial bomb fell near the substation on Storozhevaya Street in Belgorod,” the public page reports.

It is noted that no air raid alarm was issued in the city before the explosion, which also indirectly confirms the Russian origin of the munition.

According to local residents, they heard the roar of an airplane flying toward the border before the explosion. The explosion itself was so powerful that it was followed by a “rain” of shrapnel, soil, and rocks, which is also typical of a powerful munition like an aerial bomb.

It was reported that there was no power in the city center for about an hour, and in the suburbs even longer.

The Kremlin-appointed Gauleiter of the Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, confirmed the explosion and power outages, but omitted the mention of a Russian military strike.

“The emergency occurred as a result of the incoming strike of an unidentified munition,” he wrote on Telegram , adding that one person was injured.
