The Ukrainian Air Force has reportedly used a MiG-29 fighter jet to attack a dam in the Belgorod region of Russia, according to a single report. The attack was carried out on Friday afternoon, Jerusalem time. No details are yet available on the extent of damage, casualties, or the specific dam targeted.
Belgorod, located approximately 40 kilometers north of the Ukrainian border, has been a frequent target of Ukrainian cross-border operations. As The Zioneer has reported, Ukrainian forces have struck the city's airport, a power substation, and a Russian Mi-28 helicopter in recent weeks. The region serves as a key staging ground for Russian military operations in eastern Ukraine.
The use of a manned fighter jet for a strike on a dam represents a potential escalation in the type of assets deployed, though the report remains unconfirmed by multiple sources.
