Russia’s Belgorod region has come under increasing Ukrainian attacks this month as the invasion by Moscow grinds into its third year
FILE - This photo released by Belgorod regional Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov's Telegram channel on Sunday, March 17, 2024, shows first responders at a burning house after shelling from Ukraine, in Belgorod, Russia. The region that borders Ukraine has seen a surge in Ukrainian attacks as Kyiv's forces ramped up their strikes as the war drags into a third year. .The region of forests, farmland and rolling hills has a 540-kilometer border along’s northeastern edge.
The region was one staging ground for the invasion by Russia in February 2022. It has come under regular Ukrainian attacks ever since Russian forces retreated there from northeastern Ukraine early in the war under the brunt of a counteroffensive by Kyiv. Regular rocket and drone strikes have continued since then. The area can be struck by relatively simple and mobile weapons such as multiple rocket launchers from forests on the Ukrainian side.
Russian border villages in the region have been targeted sporadically during the war by Ukrainian artillery fire, rockets, mortar shells and drones launched from dense forests, where they are hard to detect. He vowed the Ukrainian cross-border attacks “won’t go unpunished,” venting particular anger at pro-Kyiv Russians who joined Ukrainian troops in the incursions, describing them as traitors who will face imminent death.
