Russian village goes up in flames after bombing leaves woman dead
Footage allegedly shows Voronezh in Russia ‘under attack’
Russians were left reeling after their village allegedly came under attack from Ukrainian artillery on Friday morning.
Images circulating on social media appeared to show a house in the hamlet of Belaya Berezka engulfed in flames following the strike, as shocked residents tried to put the fire out.
One elderly woman was reported killed and three people were injured as a result of the attack.
The injured were transferred to a local hospital where they are receiving medical attention for their injuries.
The village is located just under two miles from the border with Ukraine, where Russian troops have been fighting for over a year.

Bryansk province has come under repeated artillery fire from Ukraine and has seen a high level of partisan activity. Just two months ago four people were killed in a similar attack, which local officials blamed on their Western neighbour.
In early May, a train with seven freight wagons was derailed in the province after an explosive device went off.
Russian authorities say the region has seen multiple attacks by pro-Ukrainian sabotage groups in the months since Moscow invaded.
Kyiv almost never publicly claims responsibility for attacks inside Russia and on Russian-controlled territory in Ukraine.
The military, however, reports daily on activities and troops movements in battlefield areas.
A recent report by the Russian news outlet Vyorstka claims sabotage acts inside Russia have more than doubled this year compared to last, when Putin ordered his full invasion.
At least 57 attacks on Russian railways, military enlistment centers, energy sites and other targets were publicly reported in January-May 2023.
That compares with 21 similar attacks in 2022 and only one in 2021. Nearly two-thirds of this year’s attacks targeted railway tracks.
At least 26 Russian regions including annexed Crimea have experienced at least one such attack, with the Moscow region in the lead at nine.
May saw the highest number of acts of sabotage at 14, followed by 12 each in January, February and April.
