Governor of Belgorod says attack injured 12 people, in second partisan assault inside Russia in two weeks
, leaving three dead, including a nine-year-old girl, and 11 injured, according to Ukrainian authorities. Claims also surfaced that one local shelter was not properly open in time for people to flee to safety.
Podolyak tweeted: “Eyewitnesses said that the man was crouching over his granddaughter’s body until one of his neighbors brought him a chair. He can’t move away. He can’t understand. He can’t breathe. He has lost his life.” Officials said that police were investigating, while the head of Desnianskyi district said a guard had opened a central entrance to the shelter, but some people had not been able to get in, possibly because there was so little time to react.
Meanwhile, Russian partisan attacks have stepped up since late May, including a drone raid on Moscow. Ukraine normally denies involvement, although the groups are based in the country. They claimed Russia is attenuated across a 1,000km front with strong defensive positions, but its military is without a credible reserve force if there is a breakthrough in their lines.
