Yes, this needs to be brought up. If you can't rage war on a country without being struck back, what has this world come to? /s

That, and Russia used Belgorod as a launching point for several Iskanders missiles against Ukraine in the large strike. So a lot of return fire went to Belgorod to destroy the launchers. Missile off course, intercepted, Ewar jammer, so many reasons a single munition can end up in a population center. It's not as if a grad was used to carpet Belgorod.
