Missile strikes have suspended train services in a Russian town.
Power lines were reportedly damaged after anti-aircraft defences shot down missiles near Novyi Oskol, Belgorod, this morning.
Confirming there were no casualties, Vyacheslav Gladkov, regional governor for the town which lies about 56 miles north of the Ukrainian border, said on Telegram: “Power lines are damaged. Trains are temporarily suspended.”
Yesterday, he accused Ukraine of shelling an apartment block in the city of Belgorod, the administrative centre of the Belgorod region.

Mykhaylo Podolyak, a senior Ukrainian presidential adviser, denied Kyiv’s military was responsible and said Russia had tried to shell Ukraine’s second-largest city of Kharkiv on the border “but something went wrong”.
