Kh-101 missiles hit residential buildings in Ternopil, Air Force reports

The Ukrainian Air Force reported this on Facebook, Ukrinform writes.

“Officially: Russian Kh-101 cruise missiles, launched from strategic aviation aircraft, hit residential apartment buildings in Ternopil. The attack involved six Tu-95MS (based at Olenya airfield) and four Tu-160MS (based at Engels and Ukrainka airfields). The launch areas were in Russia’s Vologda and Astrakhan regions,” the statement reads.

Authorities are currently examining the fragments of the Russian missiles to establish and document another terrorist act against Ukraine’s civilian population.

“According to reliable data repeatedly shared with partners, the Russian Kh-101 cruise missile contains components and parts produced by companies in the U.S., China, Taiwan, Germany, the Netherlands, and others,” the Air Force emphasized.

As of 16:00, fragments of one of the cruise missiles that struck a nine-story building on November 19, 2025, have been found and identified. It was a Kh-101 missile manufactured in the fourth quarter of 2025.

“Tragedies like the one in Ternopil today could have been avoided if Russia were not able to circumvent the already announced sanctions against this terrorist state,” the Air Force stressed.

As Ukrinform reported, the death toll from the Russian strike in Ternopil has risen to 25, including three children, with 73 people injured.
