Ukrainian air defenses shot down a Russian Kh-59 guided cruise missile over the Dnipro district in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast on Jan. 28, Ukraine's Eastern Air Command said.

The Suspilne news outlet reported earlier at 3:00 p.m. local time that explosions were heard in the area.

Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Governor Serhii Lysak confirmed at 3:15 p.m. that the missile had been downed.

Lysak did not report on any damage or casualties that may have been caused by the fallen missile or its debris.

Falling debris from a downed missile injured a man in the city of Dnipro on Jan. 24, Lysak said.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.

We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.

Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
