Explosions were reported on Tuesday in the Radekhiv area of the Lviv region of western Ukraine, according to Ukrainian officials.
“Our air defense forces shot down two enemy cruise missiles over Radekhiv,” Maksym Kozytskyi, head of the regional military administration, said Wednesday on Telegram.
“Wreckage fell on the outskirts of the city, resulting in explosions in unused civilian infrastructure.”
A fire followed the explosion and was immediately extinguished by Ukraine’s State Emergency Service, Kozytskyi said. No casualties were reported.
The Ukrainian Air Force Western Air Command also released a statement on Wednesday saying that two Russian cruise missiles were shot down on Tuesday night in the Lviv region.
“Last night, the fighters of the occupiers flying from Belarus hit the territory of Ukraine with cruise missiles,” the statement read.
“The Russians (Russian fascists) were targeting civilian infrastructure objects in the Lviv region. But due to the successful actions of the Western Air Command’s anti-aircraft missile forces, two cruise missiles were destroyed, making it impossible for enemy missiles to reach the target.”
