Russian air force bombs own city by accident.

Russia's military has acknowledged that one of its warplanes accidentally dropped a bomb causing a powerful blast in the city of Belgorod, injuring two people. The explosion was far more powerful than previous drone attacks in the area, leading to speculation about what weapon Ukraine had used. However, the Russian Defense Ministry later confirmed that the bomb was accidentally released by one of its own Su-34 bombers. Military experts suggest that the weapon was likely a powerful 500-kilogram bomb set to explode with a small delay after impact.
