Ukraine Strikes Russian Command Center in Belgorod
Ukraine successfully targeted a Russian command post in Gubkin, Belgorod Oblast, approximately 168 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. This follows President Biden’s authorization of long-range ATACMS missile strikes into Russia, with this attack marking the first confirmed use of these missiles against a Russian command post. Reports indicate significant damage and corroborate Ukrainian claims, despite Russian denials and interception claims. The strike occurred amidst heightened tensions, including the reported deployment of North Korean troops to the Ukrainian front and the closure of the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv due to a potential air attack threat.
