This is the second Russian aerial missile, which accidentally fell in a residential rear area over the past week. LINK Moreover, another Russian FAB-250 planning aerial bomb was found in a field in the Belgorod region few days ago. Apparently, the bomb was launched at targets in the Kharkiv region, but for some reason it failed and fell in the border area.
Due to the massive use of such bombs during the military operations on all Ukrainian frontlines, unexploded aerial heavy bombs are discovered quite often both on Russian territory and on Ukrainian military positions.
However, the growing number of Russian missiles falling in the rear areas may raise some suspicions. Taking into account that some pro-Ukrainian saboteurs can still get to Russian military airfields LINK, these may not be accidents, but the result of successful operations by the Kiev regime.
