“A ballistic missile, if launched from the territory of Crimea, for example, covers a short distance and arrives in a matter of minutes. It's important to understand this,” Ignat said, speaking during the national marathon.
“Ballistics are fast. This appears to be the case here. We've received reports of explosions and await further information from local authorities regarding the type of weapons used,” he said.
