However, the Belarusian Defense Ministry confirmed that the missile was shot down by the country's air defense forces: "Today, at around 10:00 a.m. [07:00 GMT], an air target was hit by air defense forces. Its fragments were found in an agricultural field near the village of Harbacha, Ivanava District, Brest Region."

Minsk vowed to add more details of the incident as updates roll in.
