Yes something hit it. Like the office building of the SBU.
So interesting they blurred out the surroundings, which more than suggests that it's the site of it's target.
Well if the target was State Institute of Decorative Art and Design then yeah it hit its target.
Humvee found destroyed.
Lancet takes out a hidden howitzer in a forest line.
Ukrainian force concentration on the right bank of the Dniepr gets hit with a pair of FAB-250.
Krasnopol work on a Ukrainian position in the Avdeyevka sector.
Precision artillery work, possibly Krasnopol, on Ukrainian special forces deployment points in the Sumy region.
Ukrainian 2S3 Akasya in the Avdeyevka direction gets taken out by Krasnopol M2, courtesy of the Siberian Association special forces unit.
Gerans and Iskanders arriving in Odessa and scored a jackpot, hitting a large ammo depot based on the sound of the explosion. There are sounds also of multiple explosions that suggest something with multiple shells or missiles (air defense system?) exploding after being hit.
Lancets takes out T-72AV in the Zaporozhye front.
Ukrainian P-18 search radar gets knocked out by an X-35 repurposed antiship missile in Zaporozhye.
Cope cage didn't save this M109 from getting destroyed by a Lancet.
Kharkhiv in blackout after power generation has been hit.
Reconstruction of the Dniepr HPP can take years after hit by six missiles.
Landed Baba Yaga captured by the 40th Marine Brigade.
Location of two Patriot systems in the Kiev airport, allegedly knocked out.
The rounded part of the Zircon like in the photograph is actually it's first stage discarded rocket booster. It would continue to fly on its own separate trajectory.
The operational part of the missile is the white portion without the booster.
There's no way a hypersonic lift body would use a cylindrical body design, lol. Here's a clean sign of stage separation.
The SBU headquarters is located right next to the museum so the museum will obviously be collateral damage.
This looks to me a booster landed on a house.
Ukrainian MT-LB with Zu-23-2 installed is struck by a Lancet. Such vehicles are ironically used for anti drone work.
Two Ukrainian S-200 repurposed for ground attack shot down in the Rostov region.
Fake or decoy Russian artillery somewhere in the front line.
Giatsint-B of the 14th Brigade Kalmius at work in Krasnogorovka.
Russian paratroopers are now 1km from Chasiv Yar.
Ukrainian ammo depot in Huliaipole gets struck by a Krasnopol from the 65th Brigade.

Yeah. Probably far easier to track the booster once it starts deaccelerating and tumbling around
On top of what's mentioned, a cylindrical object has a much higher radar cross section over the lift body object with angular flat sides. The operational lift body alone would have a very low RCS and plasma forming around the body from the friction of the body surface and the air at extreme speeds creates a layer of radio absorbtion and interference. The tumbling decelerating cylindrical body would vastly decrease its speed and remove the chances of this plasma developing.
Video of the captured Marder. Artillery did a number on the optics, it seems.
X-35 repurposed antiship missile takes out NASAMS air defense system.
Tokarevka, right side of the Dniepr, getting hit by FABs, targeting hangers used by the AFU.
FAB strikes in Novomikhailovka area. Or it could be TOS.
FPV drone hits an Abrams tank in the rear. No aftermath footage however. Should be at Berdychi.
MSTA-SM2 in the Belgorod region working on Ukrainian positions with the help of Russian UAVs.
Ukrainian T-72AMT in the Sumy region gets taken out by Lancet.
Ukrainian BREM-1 evacuates and tows away a destroyed Ukrainian Strela-10.
Krasnopol takes out warehouse used by the Ukrainians in the border.
Krasnopol from the 238th Brigade takes out a Stugna ATGM nest. Krasnopol can either be lased from the ground with special forces or the air via drone. This one, as many examples from the 238th, might be lasing from the ground using special forces.
Russians using Starlink and increasing their usage on them, reports CNN.
Strike at Ukrainian intelligence unit in Novogrodovka. This appears to be barracks and dormitories for a temporary deployment point. Two ballistic missiles.
Flooded Ukrainian patrol ship 'Getman Sagaidnyi' in Nikolaev port. Don't know what's the cause, it could be a drone strike.
General 'Breakthrough' Mordvichev gets the Hero of Russia medal.
Four FABs arrive at Ukrainian formations in a forest line in Yuzhno-Donetsk.
FABs take out a Ukrainian ammo depot in Urozhayne.
FAB strikes in Staromayorsky area.

Pair of FAB-250 hits a Ukrainian temporary base in the right side of the Dniepr, after being targeted by Russian troops.
Siberian Association targeted a Ukrainian 2S3 Akasya SPG and hits it with Krasnopol. This at the Avdeyevka sector.
Ukrainian T-72 gets taken out by a Lancet strike at the back.
Everything intensifies.

It isn't the largest hydropower plant in Europe. There are larger ones.
But it is the largest one in Ukraine. And it is an essential part in keeping their electric grid stable. Ukraine can expect a lot of brownouts in their future even if they get enough power supply back up.
It can take years to order Francis turbines and years more to install them and get them operational. This won't likely be fixed this decade.
No one knows the exact range of Zircon. But it is expected to be up to 1500km. Not 1000km. It depends on the fuel used.
Of course idiotic Western "analysts" claimed it had a range of 300km or 400km. Despite Putin himself claiming over 1000km range in public.
The analyst's claims have unsurprisingly been proven wrong with actual combat use. They can't get the range of the Onyx right either. They seem to think the range of the Russian Onyx is the same as the MTCR limited export version.
No one knows the exact shape of Zircon. And there are circular prototypes of hypersonic scramjets like the HyFly.
I personally think it is a stupid idea for Russia to use the Zircon in this conflict since it will only speed up the US's own hypersonic program by giving them examples of actual working weapons to study.
