A powerful explosion rocked the Russian city of Belgorod on April 20. Local Telegram channels were the first to report this and published photos of a huge crater on one of the streets of the city. Moreover, a shock wave threw a car onto the roof of a supermarket.

Later, the Russian MoD said that the cause of the explosion was an 'abnormal situation': - the Su-34 aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces accidentally dropped a bomb when flying over the city.

The Charter97.org website found out all possible details known at the moment about the Russian bombing of the city of Belgorod.

According to the “Caution, News" Telegram channel, there was an explosion at the Vatutin and Gubkin Streets crossing. As a result of the incident, several houses and cars were damaged. Initially, the cause of the explosion was not reported. The Russian MoD commented on the incident in Belgorod for RBC only late at night.

“The Su-34 aircraft of the Aerospace Forces over Belgorod faced abnormal derailment of aviation ammunition during the execution of the flight. The accident resulted in damage to residential buildings with no casualties. An investigation is underway,” the Russian military department said.

“Situation in Belgorod. There was an explosion. According to preliminary information, there were no casualties. A huge crater with a radius of 20 meters is at the crossing of one of the central streets. The glazing in a neighbouring residential building is damaged. The explosion damaged several parked cars and knocked down power line poles,” wrote Vyacheslav Gladkov, Governor of the Belgorod Region.

Later, the head of the region said that two people were injured as a result of an “abnormal drop of ammunition”. One woman with a craniocerebral injury of moderate severity was taken to the City Hospital No 2. The second woman with bruises refused hospitalization, all the necessary medical care was provided to her on the spot.

Mayor of Belgorod Valentin Demidov published photos of damaged apartments on his Telegram channel.

“All the field services are on duty. <...> Also the explosion damaged several apartments on Shalandina Street. The Clearing House is operating. We offer temporary accommodation in a hotel to all residents of the affected houses,” the mayor said.
