Too bad.

“Rockets Kill One in Russian Region Near Ukraine”

“A rocket strike killed at least one person in Russia’s Belgorod region near Ukraine, local officials said, as Russia’s defense minister made a rare visit to the Ukrainian war zone.

A rocket salvo targeting Belgorod on Sunday was intercepted by Russian air defenses, but falling debris and shrapnel killed one resident, injured eight others and caused damage to 14 buildings, the region’s governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said on social media. He didn’t explicitly blame Ukraine, and Kyiv didn’t acknowledge responsibility for the attack.”

This sounds fishy to me.

Rocket salvos are difficult to "intercept" unless the defensive equipment is pre-placed near the target.

There is absolutely no rationale for UKR to launch this attack.

IMHO, this is a Russian false flag attack (gone bad) to justify more cruise missile attacks on Ukrainian civilian targets.
