Remnants of a missile landed in Belarus early Thursday morning in one of Russia’s biggest missile strikes against Ukraine since the start of the war, according to the state-run BelTA news agency, which said it was a projectile fired from an S-300 air system. defense system used by Ukraine.

The President of Belarus Oleksandr Lukashenka became aware of the event, and a group of the Investigative Committee and the Ministry of Defense is investigating where the fragments of the rocket could have fallen.

According to the first data, there are no casualties.

Currently, two scenarios are being considered: the missile entered the territory of Belarus, as in the case of the incident in Poland, when two people died, or the missile was shot down by Belarusian air defense systems, reports BelTA.

Two similar incidents also took place in the Republic of Moldova, but fortunately no one was injured in these cases.

The S-300 is a Soviet air defense missile used by both Russia and Ukraine, Reuters notes.

Kyiv has used the system to intercept Russian missiles, and Russia appears to be using upgraded S-300 missiles to attack ground targets, which military analysts say could be a sign that its missile stockpile is dwindling.

Belarus allowed Moscow to use its territory as a launching pad for an invasion of Ukraine in February, but insisted it had not and would not take part in the war.
