Video Russian officials said a Ukrainian missile was shot down over the port city of Taganrog and exploded, injuring several people.
The Russian Defense Ministry said the explosion was caused by one of two Soviet-era missiles fired into Russian territory by Ukraine and shot down by Russian air defenses.
A top Ukrainian security official, Oleksiy Danilov, cast blame for the blast in Taganrog on the Russian air defense system.
Earlier Friday, Russia’s Defense Ministry said it had shot down a drone aimed at the Moscow region; several recent strikes in Moscow were orchestrated by Ukraine using Ukrainian-made drones, according to senior Ukrainian officials.
Shortly afterward, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that a high-rise and a security service building had been hit in the city of Dnipro, blaming “Russian missile terror.”Show more
