Missile Strikes Trigger Energy Chaos in Belgorod

On Feb 27, Ukrainian missiles struck Belgorod, seriously damaging energy installations, while Russian officials said strikes hit a thermal power station in Belgorod Oblast and an oil depot in Russian-occupied Luhansk overnight.
Ukraine regularly strikes military infrastructure deep inside Russia to diminish Moscow's fighting power, and Kyiv views oil facilities as legitimate military targets because they fund Russia's war.
Local channels and residents posted night footage showing neighborhoods in darkness and explosions, while Vyacheslav Gladkov wrote `Serious damage has occurred with energy infrastructure` causing outages and supply failures.
Belgorod experienced the second attack in five days, and Gladkov said damage would be assessed at first light.
Verification remains limited as the Kyiv Independent said it could not verify the claims and Ukrainian officials gave no comment, while Belgorod has been struck repeatedly in recent weeks.
