Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova told state media Russia had requested a meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss the incident.

“Today, the Kyiv regime attempted an indiscriminate combined strike on the city of Belgorod with two ‘Olkha’ missiles in a banned cluster configuration, as well as Czech-made Vampire rockets,” the Defence Ministry said in a Telegram posting, adding that most rockets had been shot down.

Belgorod is north of the Ukrainian border.

Russia responded to the attack at the United Nations.

▪️The attack on Belgorod is a pre-planned terrorist attack against a peaceful city;

▪️All organizers and perpetrators of the terrorist attack in Belgorod will be punished

▪️The Kiev regime, in impotent rage, is trying to kill as many Russian people as possible;

▪️The more threats Russia creates, the tougher it will respond to them;

▪️For the US and UK, supporting Ukraine is a commercial enterprise.
