Ukrainian air defense forces intercepted and destroyed a Russian Grom-1 missile—a hybrid between a guided missile and a glide bomb—in the suburbs of Dnipro.  

This was announced by Serhiy Lysak, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, on Telegram, as reported by Ukrinform.

“The explosion heard in Dnipro’s suburbs is the result of our air defense at work. I’m grateful to our sky defenders for shooting down the latest Grom-1 missile bomb,” he wrote.
