The Russian Ministry of Defense announced its version of an attack on the eve of a boarding school in Sudge in the Kursk region at night: it is alleged that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were fired by missiles. “The launch of enemy missiles from the Sumy region was recorded by Russian air defense equipment,” the agency said . According to the Ministry of Defense, the Ukrainian side arranged a “provocation” in order to distract the attention “from the atrocities of the Kiev regime, which were committed in the village of Russian Porechnaya of the Kursk Region”. Sudzha has been under the control of the Armed Forces since August.
Update: On February 2, the Russian Investigative Committee said that he had opened a criminal case against the commander of the 19th separate missile brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Rostislav Karpushi, who allegedly ordered a missile strike on the boarding school. The case was brought under an article on the attack (paragraph "b" part 3 of article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
