Ukraine Appears To Have Begun Shelling Russian Territory

The Ukrainian army has begun to transfer the battle to Russian territory, a new development in what has been a major defensive war for the country. Russian authorities were forced to place two villages under emergency orders and evacuate some civilians due to the Ukrainian bombing in the area, according to reports by several Russian media.

The agency said the source of the blast was an attack from inside Ukraine. Interfax, another Kremlin-friendly publication, reported that Zhuravlyovka and the nearby town of Niekhoteyevka had been placed under emergency orders and that about 180 people had been evacuated to Belgorod as a result of an explosion at an ammunition depot.

Fox News could not independently verify the alleged attack, although reports of the attack, an apparent setback for Russia and the involvement of Ukraine, came from Russian state media. The reports come as the Russian military has begun redeploying some forces that have surrounded the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, although Pentagon spokesman John Kirby warned on Tuesday that the move was more of a repositioning than a repositioning. Kirby said the Russian military had failed to occupy Kyiv and most of Ukraine’s population centers, which he said had been a Russian military target since the invasion began.
