Fire breaks out at a Russian military facility near the Ukrainian border

A Russian official said that a Russian military facility near the Ukrainian border had caught fire in western Russia.

The governor of Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, wrote on Telegram on Sunday that the fire broke out in the region "on land belonging to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation."

Gladkov did not specify exactly what caught fire or what caused the fire.

Military targets in Russia close to the Ukrainian border have been repeatedly caught fire in the past few weeks.

A fire broke out at an oil depot in Belgorod in early April, as Russia blamed Ukraine, which did not confirm this.

Russia also claimed that Ukraine attacked Russia's Kursk region on Saturday.

Kyiv did not confirm this either.

And at the end of last week, however, the Ukrainian president's adviser, Mikhailo Podolyak, announced that Ukraine would attack targets in Russia.
