Lipetsk: A Russian missile intended for Ukraine hit its own territory instead. This blunder led to a huge explosion, causing chaos in the area.

The blast knocked out power for 540 homes in Lipetsk. Residents reported losing electricity, water, and even mobile service after the incident.

Dashcam footage captured the moment the missile struck. It created a massive fireball and sent debris flying into the air.

Experts noted that the missile was clearly visible, contradicting claims it was a spent stage of a missile system. This incident is costly for Putin, as each missile can be worth millions.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but property damage occurred. The explosion happened about 350 miles from the ongoing conflict zone.

This incident adds to a series of embarrassing moments for Putin’s military. Recent footage showed Ukrainian forces targeting key facilities in Russia.

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has roots dating back to 2014. Tensions have escalated since then, leading to numerous military confrontations.

In another recent mishap, Russian soldiers mistakenly shot down their own drone, thinking it was an enemy aircraft. This incident highlights ongoing issues within the Russian military.
