The death toll has risen to 15 people, as reported by the Emergency Situations Ministry on Sunday.
According to Vyacheslav Gladkov, the governor of the Belgorod region, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a major attack on the city and district of Belgorod.
According to a statement from the Russian Ministry of Defense, the building was hit by the Ukrainian Tochka-U missile during the overnight attack. It remains unclear whether the missile intentionally targeted the building or if the damage resulted from fragments of a downed missile.
