Who actually believes anything posted anywhere, this is the age of total disinformation compliments of the T.V. Of course there will be some truth with the lies. The truth is you can bet that targeting NATO in a war zone would have top priority.
Local authorities did not say what caused the blast, but the Russian defence ministry released a statement saying a fighter aircraft had lost ammunition over Belgorod.
"During the flight of the Su-34 aircraft of the aerospace forces over the city of Belgorod, an abnormal descent of aviation ammunition has occurred," the ministry said.
The statement carried by Russian news agencies added that the incident had taken place at 22:15 local time.
The Russian Defense Ministry has identified the cause of an explosion in Belgorod as the unintended release of an aerial bomb. The projectile left a massive crater in a residential area and destroyed several vehicles, but did not cause any injuries.
The “unusual descent of an aviation munition” took place around 10:15pm Moscow time, as an Su-34 of the Russian Air Force flew over Belgorod, the ministry said in a statement. The Russian military has launched an investigation into the incident.

Seems like the penetrator version of the Russian Kinzhal can manage about 3m of reinforced concrete, not quite so sure as to 200ft earth first.
