Voronezh governor Alexander Gusev said air defences destroyed several aerial targets over the city on 23 October and falling debris started a grass fire in the suburbs, Ukrinform reports. He said the fire had been extinguished and no casualties were reported. ASTRA located a fire near the Baltimore military airfield; the governor did not identify a struck military facility or the type or origin of the aerial targets.

Verification: Probable

Evidence: Media reports: Fire breaks out near military airfield in Voronezh after missile alert

The account is attributed to Gusev. A missile alert does not identify the intercepted targets as missiles or establish an attack on the airfield.
