 Russia said it intercepted two Ukrainian missiles over its southern rust of region bordering Ukraine with at least 16 people wounded by debris falling on the city of Taganrog. Regions bordering Ukraine have seen regular drone strikes and shelling since Moscow launched its military campaign in February last year but have hardly ever been targeted by missiles. Russian air defense equipment detected the Ukrainian missile and intercepted it in the air. The debris of the downed Ukrainian missile fell on the territory of Taganrog, a defense ministry statement said. The ministry said the first S-200 missile was aimed at residential infrastructure of Taganrog, a city of around 250,000 people. Shortly after, it said it downed a second S-200 missile near the city of Azov with debris falling in an unpopulated area. The incident in the rust of regions Taganrog is an unconditional consequence of the large-scale war unleashed by Russia and uncontrolled disintegration processes at various levels in the aggressor state. The relevant statement was made by advisor to the head of the office of the president of Ukraine Makhailov Podoliak on Twitter. Everything happening in Russia, including Taganrog, is an unconditional consequence of the large-scale war initiated by Russia, uncontrolled processes of disintegration of management systems at various levels and growing internal protests. Podoliak wrote, in his words, investigations are needed to establish the immediate causes of the explosions. However, the causes and consequences are clear. The incompetence, maliciousness and irresponsibility of the Putin elite, Podoliak added. National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine's Secretary Alexei Danilov believes the incident in the rust of regions Taganrog had resulted from the incompetent actions of Russian air defense system operators.
