Multiple Strikes Cause Damage

Wednesday's series of aerial assaults destroyed residences, transportation and power lines in multiple districts of Belgorod, as reported by official statements.

Sources published photographs from Maslova Pristan showing a recreation complex with its building components blown apart, and said that rescue workers were clearing debris and assessing the damage.

Power Outages Affect Thousands
