The investigation is ongoing.

The Defense Ministry did not say what type of weapon was involved, according to Reuters. The Su-34 is a supersonic fighter-bomber.

Belgorod is a city of 370,000 people 40 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. Fuel and ammunition depots are located in this part of southern Russia.

The neighborhood is flown daily by Russian jets and has been hit several times since the start of the war. Klatkov says 30 people have been killed and more than 90 wounded in bombings in the region since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Residents live in constant alert.
