13:08 Russia launched three Daggers at Starokostyantynov, information about locations “arrivals” or damage is not public – Air Force
The Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed that from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on September 26, 2024, three launches of Kh-47 M2 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles were recorded from the airspace of the Russian Federation. Launches were carried out in the direction of Starokostyantynov, Khmelnytskyi region.

12:43 Daggers for Starokostyantinov: rocket attacks were confirmed in Khmelnytskyi OVA “on infrastructure objects of the region”
There are no casualties.
12:37 What kind of sounds were heard in Kyiv during the alarm: the KMVA clarified the information about the alleged “explosions” without a missile attack
“Today’s morning situation in the information space of Kyiv regarding the so-called “explosions” needs additional clarification,” said Serhiy Popko, head of the KMVA. He reproached the Ukrainian media for what they “began to systematically manipulate this term [вибух]”.
“They baselessly and irresponsibly call any fairly loud sound an “explosion” without a reliable understanding of its cause. Although in reality, the term “explosion” during the war is primarily associated with the use of powerful weapons by the enemy, the conduct of military exercises, the elimination of explosive objects, etc. Sometimes the explosion can be man-made (eg gas). But, in addition to this, there are physical phenomena such as thunder, or the overcoming of the sound barrier by an airplane/missile,” the KMVA cited examples.
Simultaneously Popko confirmed that “this morning, around 10:00 a.m., almost simultaneously with the announcement of the air alert, the people of Kyiv heard a loud sound.”
“Numerous public and mass media immediately published messages such as “explosions in Kyiv” in the information space. With this disinformation, they sowed panic among the population. People can perceive such information, for example, as the result of a missile attack on the capital. Although in reality [сили] The capital’s anti-aircraft defenses did not work, the enemy’s missile weapons were not used on the territory of Kyiv, and there were no other military factors that could have caused the “explosion,” Popko emphasizes. He did not specify “whether it was the overcoming of the sound barrier by the Kinzhal aeroballistic missile during the flight over Kyiv, or whether it was another physical phenomenon – the answer should be given by specialists competent in this matter.”
