At least three people were killed and four injured in a series of "loud explosions" that rocked the city of Belgorod early Sunday, according to the governor of the region, which borders Ukraine.

"We are currently trying to determine the circumstances of the incident. Air defense was in action," Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on Telegram.

Eleven residential buildings and 39 houses were damaged in the blasts in the early hours, he said, but did not accuse Ukrainian forces of being behind the attacks.

Gladkov said he visited the site soon after the explosions, which hit five streets north of the city center.

Two of the injured, a man and a child, were hospitalized, while the other two were treated at the scene, he said.

Since Moscow began its military operation in Ukraine on February 24, Russia has repeatedly accused Kiev of carrying out attacks on Russian soil, particularly in the Belgorod region.

In early April, Gladkov accused Ukraine of attacking a fuel depot in the city with two helicopters./ REL
