==New Year's 2024 attack==
==New Year's 2024 attack==
On December 29, 2023 Ukraine attacked the city of Belgorod in the [[Russian Federation]] (there were other attacks reported on January 2, 2024 and an attack on the city of [[Donetsk]], again aimed at civilians) killing at least 24 in Belgorod, including four children, and wounding 131, including 18 children. All the victims were civilians engaged in holiday shopping and festivities and there is no evidence that any of the Ukrainian targets were, even marginally, [[military]]. No Russian soldiers were killed.

The Russian Ministry of Defense said that the rockets used illegal [[cluster munition]]s, prohibited by international conventions. The US previously supplied 155mm Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions (DPICM), which are cluster munitions rounds, mostly because the US ran out of conventional 155mm rounds.
