A Russian fighter jet accidentally bombed the Russian city of Belgorod near the border with Ukraine, causing a massive blast that injured three people and lifted a car onto the roof of a store.
The incident involving a Sukhoi-34 supersonic plane took place late Thursday, causing an explosion and leaving a huge crater near the center of Belgorod, located just 25 miles from the Ukrainian border.
Video from the scene showed piles of broken littering the street, multiple mangled cars and a building with shattered windows.
The footage also showed a car resting upside down on the roof of a supermarket along a major thoroughfare called Prospekt Vatutina.
Belgorod region governor Vyacheslav Gladkov announced a state of emergency overnight and confirmed that there was a crater measuring 65 feet across on one of the city’s main streets.
