Russia's military acknowledged that a bomb accidentally dropped by one of its warplanes caused a powerful blast in a Russian city not far fromBelgorod, a city of 340,000 located about 40 kilometers east of the Russia-Ukraine border, has faced regular drone attacks during Russia's current military operation in Ukraine. Russian authorities blamed the earlier strikes on the Ukrainian military, which refrained from directly claiming responsibility for the attacks.
Immediately after the explosion, Russian commentators and military bloggers were abuzz with theories about what weapon Ukraine had used for the attack. Many of them called for strong retribution. Belgorod Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov said local authorities decided to temporarily resettle residents of a nine-story apartment building while it was inspected to make sure it hadn’t suffered structural damage that rendered it unsafe to live in.
Some alleged that the bomb that was accidentally dropped on Belgorod could be one of a batch of modified munitions equipped with wings and GPS-guided targeting system that allows them to glide to targets dozens of kilometers away. The Russian air force has started using such gliding bombs only recently, and some experts say that they could be prone to glitches.

Russia's air force accidentally bombs own city near Ukrainian borderA powerful bomb accidentally dropped by a Russian warplane has hit the Russian city of Belgorod near Ukraine, injuring two people. Residents of Belgorod, a city of 340,000, first thought it was a Ukrainian attack, but the Russian military quickly acknowledged that one of its warplanes accidentally released the weapon. Belgorod has faced regular drone attacks that Russian authorities blamed on Ukraine, but the explosion late Thursday was far more powerful than anything its residents had heard before. The blast made nearby apartment buildings tremble and threw a car onto a store roof. It left a 20-meter (66-foot) -wide crater in the middle of a tree-lined boulevard flanked by apartment buildings, shattering their windows and damaging several cars.
