From what I understand, this is just the most recent of several such incidents.
Explosions in Russia’s Belgorod
Explosions were heard again in the Russian city of Belgorod, close to the Ukrainian border, and an oil depot caught fire, the governor of the Belgorod region of Russia, Vladislav Gladkov, reported on Telegram on Oct 15.
“We have another shelling,” he wrote. “One of the shells hit the oil depot in the Belgorod region. I am at the scene. The Ministry of Emergency Situations is already fighting the fire. There is no threat of the fire spreading. I will keep you posted.”
The Ukrainian military command hasn’t commented on the report of shelling.
On Oct. 14, a fire broke out at the Luch thermal power plant in Belgorod after sounds of powerful explosions were heard over the city. After that, a local substation was caught fire. As a result of the explosion, some residents were left without electricity.

Doesn't this open Russia up to use nukes as this may be considered a direct attack on itself?

Good point. As you can see from the age of this thread, it's been going on for a while.

This is where the Kremlin’s threatening rhetoric disconnects from the reality of the battlefield.
According to the rhetoric, of course he could reply with nuclear force. According to military and even political reality it would be sheer folly.
