The May 2024 Belgorod missile strike occurred on 12 May 2024, where at least 17 civilians are killed and 30 others are injured when a missile hit an apartment block in Belgorod, Russia.




Events


As a result of the explosion, the entrance to a ten-story residential building was destroyed, 17 people were killed, and about 30 more people were injured. The collapse of the entrance occurred against the backdrop of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the explosion that led to the collapse of the house was caused by the fall of a fragment of a downed Ukrainian Tochka-U missile. Independent military experts considered this version unlikely, citing an abnormal derailment of a Russian FAB-250 or FAB-500 aerial bomb as a possible cause of the explosion.
