This is possibly the second use of the missile, with the first being in November 2024.

UPDATE: The warheads appear to have been non-explosive, similar to the first strike on Dnipro. However, damage remains possible due to their high-velocity re-entry from space.

Probably vaporized an underground gas storage facility.. or two.

Ukraine’s underground gas storage is a large-scale geological facility. Only surface-level equipment could be impacted.
