The attack on New Year's Eve came after Ukraine's military
shelled the Russian city of Belgorod on December 30.
Over a dozen civilians were killed, and scores more injured during the daytime Ukrainian missile strike on the Russian city of 340,000, situated about 40 km from the Ukrainian border.
The MoD indicated that Ukraine's strikes involved two Vilkha long-range guided, cluster munition-equipped missiles and a number of Czech-made RM-70 Vampir MLRS rockets, donated by Prague to Kiev in 2022. Russian air defenses targeted by the incoming missiles and rockets, shooting some of them down and reportedly preventing the Vilkhas from scoring a direct hit.
The Russian Defense Ministry
stressed that the strike on Belgorod would not go unpunished. The Russian Armed Forces launched retaliatory strikes on the territory of Ukraine in response to the attack on the center of Belgorod – as a result, decision-making centers and military facilities in Kharkov were hit, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
