Putin's citizens are being accidentally bombed by his forces.

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has caused immense devastation, not just in Ukraine but also within Russia itself. Russian President Vladimir Putin's determination to redraw the borders with Ukraine has resulted in numerous accidental bombings by the Russian military, causing harm to their own citizens. And it's only been halfway through the year 2024.

The Belgorod region, located on the northeastern border of Ukraine, has been caught in the crosshairs of the conflict. It has become the launching point for Putin's latest attempt to capture Ukraine's second-largest city, Kharkiv. In recent days, Russian troops have crossed the border and entered towns and villages like Vovchansk and Lyptsi in their pursuit of Kharkiv.

Unfortunately, along with these military operations, there have been several incidents of accidental bombings in the Belgorod region. These bombings, carried out by modified Soviet-era gliding bombs, have resulted in the destruction of homes and injuries to innocent civilians. In March alone, over 9,000 children had to be evacuated from the region as the conflict intensified.

Reports have revealed that Russian military had even installed rocket launchers in civilian areas, causing further concern for the safety of the residents. In fact, just last week, an apartment building collapsed after being hit by a missile, believed to be from Ukraine.

But what's most concerning is that most of the damage in the Belgorod region has been caused by Russia's own bombs. Since the beginning of the year, there have been 39 reported bombings in the region, with the majority being carried out by the FAB bomb, a weapon adapted from Soviet-era technology. Another independent Russian outlet, Astra, reported at least 33 bombings in Russian-controlled regions of Ukraine between March and May.

These incidents have not only caused physical damage but also instilled fear in the local citizens, who now live in constant worry of their own army's mistakes. The UK government has blamed these accidental bombings on poor training and fatigue within the Russian military.

As the conflict continues, it's evident that the toll on innocent lives, both in Ukraine and Russia, is only increasing. We at Metro will continue to provide updates on this ongoing situation. Join our community on Whatsapp to stay informed on the latest news and stories.
