Ukraine missile falls in Belarus... Russia launches missile strikes on Ukraine

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Haeyoung] It has been reported that a surface-to-air missile from Ukraine fell in Belarus on the 29th (local time).

According to major foreign media on the day, the Belarus Ministry of Defense stated via Telegram, "Around 10 a.m. today, the air defense system intercepted an aerial target." The Ministry of Defense explained, "As a result of the on-site investigation, the fragments were confirmed to be from an S-300 surface-to-air missile launched from Ukrainian territory."

Earlier, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko ordered an investigation into the cause after receiving a report on the stray missile incident. No casualties have been reported so far.

There are also observations that this incident could have an adverse effect on Ukraine. Russian forces are currently stationed in Belarus, pressuring for participation in the war.

Meanwhile, Russia launched more than 100 missile attacks on major cities including Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, and Kharkiv, the second largest city, on the same day.

Mykhailo Podolyak, an advisor to the Ukrainian presidential office, claimed that Russia fired over 120 missiles across Ukraine on the day. The Ukrainian Air Force Command stated on Facebook, "The enemy is attacking Ukraine from various directions by air and sea."

As a result of this bombing, at least three people were injured in Kyiv, and power outages occurred in Lviv near the Polish border, causing continuous damage.

Since retreating from Kherson in southern Ukraine last month, Russia has been conducting large-scale air raids targeting major Ukrainian infrastructure about once a week.
