Viral: Russian rocket hits house in Ukraine’s Ivano-Frankivsk region, fails to explode

More than 300 days have passed but the war between Russia and Ukraine doesn’t seem to be coming to an end anytime soon. Even after the war entered the 310th day, Russians continued missile strikes against Ukraine. Bombarded by intense attacks, people in the war-torn region have been trying their level best to survive. Moscow has time and again denied targeting civilians in its neighbouring nation. But the internet is flooded with pictures that prove otherwise. With that being said, recently social media has brought forth a chilling picture of a rocket that hit a home in Ukraine’s Ivano-Frankivsk region. Ukraine has consistently claimed that Russian strikes have been damaging the nation’s infrastructure. And now users have sent shock waves across the internet by bringing forth the photo of the rocket hitting a house. Fortunately, the rocket did not explode, averting a grave tragedy.

The incident came to light after an Advisor to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Anton Gerashchenko, shared it on his official Twitter account. Taking to the caption, Anton revealed that the picture was originally shared by Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office. While sharing the photo, Anton wrote in the caption, “Russian rocket flew into a home in Ivano-Frankivsk region and didn’t explode by miracle.” The image shows the rocket breaking into the house, quite literally. It made its way inside by smashing the wall and presumably got stuck there. The humongous rocket transformed the whole house into debris, with ruins of brick, windows, and doors lying everywhere.
