August 13, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Belarusian Ambassador Alaksandar Raho\u017enik has visited Russia’s Belgorod province, examined a building damaged by a missile strike three months ago and paid tribute to the Belgorod residents killed in shelling, the Belarusian embassy in Russia reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It said the diplomat met with Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the morning of May 12, an explosion caused the entrance of a residential building on Shchors Street in Belgorod to collapse, killing 17 people and injuring 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Russian Investigative Committee described it as a Ukrainian terrorist attack and opened a criminal case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mere 40km (25 miles) from the Ukrainian border, Belgorod served as a base for Russia\u2019s invasion since February 2022, making it a target for Ukrainian counterattacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukrainian civilians have suffered the most in the ongoing war, with tens of thousands killed and cities like Mariupol completely devastated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
