Russian Warplane Accidentally Bombs City Near Ukraine Border

A powerful blast shook the Russian city of Belgorod near the border with Ukraine, leading residents to believe it was a Ukrainian attack. However, the Russian military quickly acknowledged that it was a bomb accidentally dropped by one of its own warplanes. The explosion caused a 66-foot-wide crater, shattered windows, damaged several cars, and injured three residents. Military experts said the weapon likely was a powerful 1,100-pound bomb. The incident follows the crash of a Russian warplane next to a residential building in the port city of Yeysk on the Sea of Azov that killed 15 people.
