The Kh-101 cruise missile, which flew during the morning attack on Ukraine into the territory of Romania and Moldova, fell in a field.

This was reported by the Telegram channel "Nikolaevsky Vanek".

According to published photographs, during the missile attack on Ukraine, the enemy used Kh-101 cruise missiles, which crossed the airspace of the two countries and entered Ukrainian airspace in the Chernivtsi region.

The missile was found in a relatively intact condition, and its warhead did not fire during the fall.

This incident is currently being investigated by the Romanian Ministry of Defense, as well as the government, to confirm that the missile fell on their territory.

According to the official press service comment, based on monitoring data from Romanian air surveillance systems and information provided by NATO countries' assets monitoring in Romania's area of ​​responsibility, the crossing of Romanian airspace was not confirmed.

"The competent structures of the Romanian Ministry of Defense will continue to investigate this situation to clarify all the circumstances," the press service of the Ministry of Defense said in a statement.

It should be noted that the Romanian Ministry of Defense has repeatedly stated that it does not confirm the fact that Russian missiles crossed the country's airspace, but over time it confirmed these facts.

This applied to both cruise missiles and strike drones that crossed their territory.

Previously, "Military" reported that during the morning strike on Ukraine, one of the Russian missiles flew into Ukraine through Moldova and Romania.

The Russian cruise missile flew approximately 140 kilometers in the airspace of Moldova and Romania and reached its final trajectory in the Chernivtsi region of Ukraine.

It passed from the Yampil district, in Vinnytsia region, to the Daraban district in Botoşani county in Romania.
