March 21 (Reuters) – Ukrainian forces shelled a public building in Russia’s border region of Belgorod on Saturday, killing four people, the regional governor said.

Vyacheslav Gladkov, writing on Telegram, said the attack hit a “social site” in the village of Smorodino, without giving further details. The bodies of two women were pulled from under rubble, he said.

Gladkov posted pictures of a built-up area in flames.

Belgorod has come under frequent Ukrainian attack during the four-year war since Russia’s full-scale invasion.
