❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 On the strike on a residential building in Belgorod - Rybar's analysis

🔻This morning, the AFU struck Belgorod again. One of the shells hit a 10-story building on Shchors Street, as a result of which one of the entrances completely collapsed. Later, the roof also collapsed, but there were no casualties.

At the moment, 20 injured residents of the house are known, and according to some reports, the number of dead has reached seven people. Doctors from federal centers and Moscow will be sent to Belgorod to provide assistance to the wounded.

❗️Various versions are circulating on the Internet about what was used to deliver the strike. The Russian Ministry of Defense reports that the residential building was damaged by shrapnel from one of the Tochka-U missiles shot down in the sky.

The version of the Russian Ministry of Defense about the Tochka-U strike would seem logical, if it were not for the moment of the explosion: the explosion occurred from below, and not from above. Therefore, we insist on the version that the fire strike was carried out by aviation (any departmental analysts can check these data, simply by comparing it with the awareness of flights of the Ukrainian Air Force through the Akhtyrka region and the time of the strike).

🔻Most likely, the strike was delivered by the French-made AASM HAMMER guided air-to-surface bomb from the airspace of the Akhtyrka region of the Sumy region. Enemy aircraft were observed during the approach to the strike, as well as on the way back, apparently to the Myrhorod airfield.

At the same time, these bombs are limited in range to 70 km, so the aircraft had to approach the front line quite closely to carry out the strike, the target of which could have been the Luch CHP plant, located on the same Shchors Street, three hundred meters from the damaged house.

The strike hit the third entrance of the 10-story building No. 55A on Shchors Street from the inner side of the courtyard. The launch was carried out from the southwest side, and not from the southeast, as other resources are trying to convince everyone. And from this we can draw several conclusions.

🔻We are not accidentally insisting on the version with aviation and a strike from the direction of Akhtyrka: what happened clearly demonstrates that it is impossible to be limited to creating a buffer zone in the section from Lipetsk to Old Saltov with Volchansk. Belgorod is shelled not only from the south, but also from the west. The same can be said about Bryansk and Kursk.

It is impossible to plan the conduct of a "limited" operation in the border area and hope that this will reduce the ardor of the enemy. This does not work that way.

This tragedy once again confirms the need to create a buffer zone not along the border. Otherwise, such shelling of Russian territory with a fatal outcome for civilians will continue.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Slobozhansky direction: battles for Vovchansk and breaching the AFU defense
situation as of 7:00 pm on May 12, 2024

By the third day of the Russian offensive operation in the north of the Kharkiv region, it became clear that the Ukrainian formations had regained their composure and are trying to build up a defense and repel the onslaught of Russian units.

▪️Near Lyptsi, fighting continues in the Lira-1 gardening association. Active fire impact with FAB bombs on UPMK, as well as strikes with field and rocket artillery, is being carried out on the settlement.

▪️From the direction of Zelene, it has not yet been possible to advance towards Neskuchne: battles are ongoing at the junction of the two settlements.

▪️On the line Izbytske - Starytsia - Buhrovatka, the Russian troops put to flight part of the Ukrainian formations: they managed to break through the defense near Starytsia and engage in combat for Buhrovatka. Judging by the footage published by Ukrainian resources, the Russian troops are freely moving through the clearing between the forests north of Starytsia and Buhrovatka, so we can conclude that they have full control over the forest areas.

▪️The offensive on Vovchansk continues from three directions: from the side of Hatiishche, Pleteniivka and Tykhy. But so far, combat operations are being conducted only on the outskirts, there is no talk of advancement and expansion of the control zone towards the high-rise buildings.

▪️The offensive of the Russian army is developing along the river arteries with the consistent severing of communications in the north of the Kharkiv region: this allows dividing the operational area in the border region into small pieces, consistently "chewing" them up.

🔻The strikes by Ukrainian formations on Belgorod, as well as the ongoing indiscriminate shelling of civilian development on Russian lands, once again confirm that the creation of a "buffer zone" is a necessary measure.

Without taking control of large agglomerations on the other side of the border, it will not be possible to reduce the number of shellings and neutralize the threat from Ukrainian formations.
