Belarus' defence ministry said its air defences had downed a Ukrainian S-300 missile in a field on Thursday (December 29) morning.
The military commissar of the Brest region, Oleg Konovalov, played the incident down in a video message posted on social media by the state-run BelTA news agency, saying that local residents had "absolutely nothing to worry about. Unfortunately, these things happen".
He compared the incident to one in November, when an S-300 believed to have strayed after being fired by Ukrainian air defences landed in NATO-member Poland, and initial fears of an escalation in the war were rapidly defused.
The S-300 is a Soviet-era air defence system that is used by both Russia and Ukraine.
