A Russian jet bombed a Russian city on Thursday night leaving three people injured and prompting emergency evacuations of residents, according to local reports.
An explosion in Belgorod—around 20 miles north of the border with Ukraine—was caused by what Moscow’s Defense Ministry described as “an emergency release of an air ordnance,” Russia’s TASS news agency reports. An Su-34 fighter-bomber was to blame, authorities said.
“At around 22:15 Moscow time on April 20, when a Su-34 plane of the Russian Aerospace Forces was performing a flight above the city of Belgorod, an emergency release of an air ordnance occurred,” the ministry was quoted as saying.
