Furthermore, it is not clarified who launched the missile.
Moldova’s Defence Ministry also reports that “the air surveillance systems of the National Army did not detect illegal flights in the airspace of the Republic of Moldova.” The fragments of the missile have not been detected by radar stations due to being too small.
Local outlet NordNews has published a video allegedly showing the moment of the missile falling down.
This morning, Russia carried out massive missile strikes on Ukrainian cities. Local residents reported explosions in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Kryvyi Rih, and other Ukrainian cities.

Mayor of Kyiv Vitali Klitschko said that, following shelling of critical infrastructure objects, part of the Ukrainian capital had been left without electricity, while several districts — without water.
