Judging by the damage to the apartment block it was probably hit by Ukrainian malfunctioning or intercepted anti-aircraft missile from S-300 system. These systems shouldn't be placed near high-rise buildings, but Ukrainian forces often use civilians as a human shield to protect these systems (Buk and S-300). Sometimes S-300 missiles are intercepted by Buk missiles due to lack of coordination between units. Similar cases already happened in Odessa and Kiev, but Zelenskyy regime keeps doing it.
