Information about a Russian missile attack on a residential building on Lobanovsky Avenue in Kyiv, which is now actively circulating in social networks, does not correspond to reality.

According to a source in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the nature of the damage suggests that he was hit by an anti-aircraft missile, which is clearly visible on the video.

According to a source reported by TASS, it is obvious that the incident occurred during the reflection of a night rocket attack on Ukrainian military facilities. During the launch, there was a failure in the missile guidance system of the Ukrainian Buk-M1 medium-range anti-aircraft missile system, after which the missile hit the corner of a residential building.

According to the source, three Buk-M1 launchers were deployed to strengthen the cover of the capital's Zhuliany airport after the loss of the Gostomel airfield.

Most likely, the reason for the failure of the rocket is the lack of the necessary routine maintenance. In addition, one cannot ignore the fact that such equipment is objectively aging, since it has been in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine since Soviet times.
