00:00 In Belgorod, Russia, at least 21 people, including three children, were killed and 111 were injured

00:08 in an attack attributed to Ukraine.

00:11 The strike targeted a residential area, prompting the local governor to advise residents to

00:16 seek shelter as sirens sounded.

00:19 This incident follows Russian air raids on Ukraine's Luhansk, Sumy and Kharkiv regions,

00:23 where at least 41,000 people died in a series of deadly attacks, damaging hospitals, schools

00:29 and apartment blocks, as per the local Ukrainian media.

00:33 Now Russia has charged that Ukraine launched a terror attack on Belgorod civilians on Saturday,

00:38 claiming that the strikes were orchestrated by Western allies.

00:42 Asserting that Kiev targeted a university, an ice rink and a sports centre, Russian envoy

00:47 Vasily Nebentseyev demanded an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council to increase the

00:52 number of casualties in the terrorist attack they used cluster munitions, he stated.

00:57 It was a deliberate, indiscriminate attack against the civilian target.

01:01 Unverified footage shows smoke rising from burnt-out cars and street covered in debris

01:05 in the middle of the city.

01:07 The details of the strike, which was among the deadliest on Russian soil since Moscow

01:11 began its hostilities against Ukraine in February 2022, were not immediately confirmed.

01:17 At least three children and among 110 are wounded, according to Russian officials, and

01:21 17 children were among the dead.

01:24 Nothing has been briefed about the incident, according to the Kremlin, but the Russian

01:27 Defence Ministry has issued a warning that the strike would not go unpunished.

01:32 The Foreign Ministry of Russia, which has consistently criticised the transfer of Western

01:35 weapons to Ukraine, has charged that the US and UK are inciting the Kiev regime to commit

01:39 terrorist actions.

01:41 Officials from Ukraine did not respond right away.

01:44 Russia now believes that the strike on Belgorod happened after the UK and US incited Ukraine

01:48 to respond to the attacks by Russia on Ukrainian military bases and energy infrastructure.
