"Escalating Cross-Border Conflict: Russia's Belgorod Under Siege"

Belgorod, a Russian city near the Ukrainian border, has been rattled by unprecedented cross-border strikes, with residents living in a state of shock and anxiety following deadly attacks. The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has made the conflict all but inescapable for the city's 350,000 residents, leading to evacuations, extended school holidays, and widespread fear. While some express appreciation for the regional administration's response, many residents are seeking refuge elsewhere, expressing fatigue and a desire for the war to end.
