Russian-Ukrainian War: Blackout in the big city of Belgorod after Ukrainian attack

After a Ukrainian attack, the Russian city of Belgorod experiences a massive blackout for the first time since the beginning of the war, according to reports in social networks. The lights went out in thousands of houses in the evening, people stuck in elevators or sat in the dark at home, as eyewitnesses reported in local social networks. Accordingly, a rocket should have been hit in a heating power plant. There were severe explosions on a video that was distributed on social networks and a cloud of smoke.

Regional governor Wjatscheslaw Gladkow spoke of “significant” power outages in the city in a video on Telegram. There are still aerial arm, people should get to safety in cellars, he said in front of a still illuminated building. Gladkow also spoke of two injuries. Emergency units worked in clinics, it said. Dark streets on which moving cars were also the only light source on which moving cars were on could also be seen.

The Ukraine always attacks the regional capital Belgorod with its more than 300,000 inhabitants and the region of the same name, especially with drones – as part of its defensive fight against the Russian war of aggression. This is intended to destroy Russian military logistics.

The damage and victim numbers on the Ukrainian side by Moscow Invasion are many times greater than on the Russian side of Kiev counterattacks. Russia has been a destructive war against Ukraine for more than three and a half years.
