Wreckage of a Russian cruise missile was found in the vicinity of Volgograd.
This was reported by military observer Status-6 in his X (ex-Twitter).
Given the poor quality of the photo, we can only speculate which missile fell near the Russian city.
During the recent massive shelling of Ukrainian infrastructure, the Russians used X-101, X-555 and X-55, so it can be assumed that one of these missiles fell.
It is known that the launching point for Russian Tu-95MS strategic bombers is the Caspian Sea region, and Volgograd is on the missiles’ path.
Launches from the Caspian-Volgograd region took place recently on January 8, and specialized Telegram channels reported the use of missiles from this region.
The fall of cruise missiles and bombs on the territory of Russia
This is the third such incident in Russia since the beginning of the month. “On January 2, Militarnyi reported that one of the Russian missiles fired at Ukraine landed on a village in Voronezh region.
It is assumed that the village of Petropavlivka was hit by a Russian X-101 or X-555 cruise missile, which was launched at the territory of Ukraine in the morning of the same day.
According to local residents, the missile fell at 8:38 a.m. local time and exploded, creating a giant crater. The governor of the region called the incident “an accidental munition explosion.”
According to him, there were allegedly no casualties, but the destruction was recorded in seven households.
Later, on January 4, an unexploded OFAB-250 bomb with a control and correction module was reported in the Belgorod region.
On the control module, you can see the production marking “Ready 18.12.23” applied manually with a marker, which may indicate the date of its production or quality control.
However, judging by the abnormal descent from the pylon, the module could have had a malfunction that led to the airplane incident.
