[Regnum] In Belgorod,
…a city in Russia, about 40 km from the Ukrainian border…
several apartment buildings and cars, as well as socially significant objects, were damaged by direct hits from Ukrainian Armed Forces shells. The governor of the Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, and the head of the administration of the regional center, Valentin Demidov, announced this on May 11.
Russia began the practice of shelling civilian residences in this war, so turnabout is fair play.
“Four roofs in multi-apartment residential buildings were damaged. In total, 49 apartments in 22 apartment buildings and four commercial properties received various damages,” the governor wrote on his Telegram channel.

He added that the glazing in four socially significant facilities was also damaged - city hospital No. 2 of the city of Belgorod, the children's regional clinical hospital, the Center for rhythmic gymnastics, sports acrobatics and trampolining "Lilac" and secondary school No. 41.

In addition, as a result of the attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, six cars caught fire. A total of 21 vehicles were damaged.

The mayor of Belgorod said that the authorities were recording the damage. They intend to restore the damaged facilities as soon as possible, Demidov assured.

As Regnum reported, a woman was killed in Belgorod on the evening of May 11 as a result of massive shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In addition, 29 civilians, including one child, were wounded by shrapnel.

On the same day, in the village of Novostroevka-Pervaya, Belgorod Region, the Ukrainian Armed Forces dropped two explosive devices from a drone onto a truck standing by the side of the road. As a result of the attack, a man died; another victim was hospitalized with shrapnel wounds.

The Russian Ministry of Defense informed on the evening of May 11 that Russian air defense systems destroyed 12 Vampire MLRS rockets over the territory of the Belgorod region.
