The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation accused Ukraine of shelling of Belgorod RSZV "Alder" and Czech "Vampir"
108 people were also affected. The air defense systems have been claimed to have caught most of the alder missiles and Vampire shells. However, it is worth noting that Vampire shells do not exist, there is a Czech RSSU, which uses the same jet shells as the Soviet BM-21 "Grad". In addition, it is argued that the shells of "alder" had a cassette warhead and part of the whipped ammunition hit Belgorod.
The reason for such actions, as assured in the Defense Ministry, is the efforts of the "Kiev regime" to distract from "defeat on the front", as well as to provoke Russia on attack. In the Russian Federation, they continue to declare that they only attack military Ukrainian military objects and infrastructure that is related to it. Earlier, the Ukrainian media, citing sources in special services, reported that military objects became the targets for blows to Belgorod.
The shelling of the Russian city became a response to the barbaric attacks of Ukrainian cities on December 29. We will remind, on the night against December 30 Bryansk and Belgorod were attacked by unknown drones. Among the goals is the Silic plant, which is one of the largest manufacturers of microelectronics in the Russian Federation. On December 30, the ISW wrote that the massed shelling of Ukraine by the Russian Federation is the culmination of Russian rocket stroke experiments.
