16:28 Commented the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry M.V. Zakharova in connection with the attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the residential areas of Belgorod and Kursk:

"The goal of the Kyiv regime is to strike with unguided weapons on residential areas of cities. This is not the first time this has happened. We understand that these actions of the regime in Kyiv were not just coordinated with its Western curators, but most likely prompted by them. This is being done in order to push us to launch retaliatory strikes of this kind, and then further spin the anti-Russian hysteria.

We have so far refrained from taking such steps, but we will be following developments very closely. Those who act in this way should be aware that if provocations continue, they will not be in trouble."

15:34 A series of explosions are reported in Kharkiv. An air alert has been declared in the region.

10:35 The strike on Melitopol is an attempt to intimidate the civilian population. The Ukrainian government has despaired of calling on the inhabitants of the liberated territories for a "guerrilla war" against the Russian liberation troops.

Instead of committing senseless and bloody terrorist attacks, tens of thousands of citizens sign up for Russian citizenship. Therefore, the Kyiv regime launches rocket attacks on civilians, whom it no longer considers its own. This was announced by Alexei Selivanov, writes the TG channel "Southern bridgehead".
