- An intercontinental ballistic missile launched from the Astrakhan region.
- Aeroballistic missile Kh-47M2 "Kinjal" launched from a MiG-31K fighter from the Tambov region.

Absence of casualties and important appeals
Fortunately, there have been no reports of casualties or injuries yet. Despite this, the Air Force once again emphasized the importance of immediate response to air distress signals.
Ukrainians were also urged to take a responsible approach to the dissemination of information related to the combat work of the Armed Forces. This is an important element of information security of the state.
This attack is another attempt by Russia to intimidate Ukrainians and damage critical infrastructure as winter approaches. While Ukraine demonstrates incredible resilience, the support of the international community and the strengthening of air defense systems remain key to protecting civilians.
