Not "Oops, sorry, we missed."
But "Fuck you, you did it to yourselves so you could have an excuse to attack us."
You know, back in the 90s I was so happy when Ukraine gave away its nukes. :(

It's reportedly a missile system used by both Ukraine and Russia,
neither side is making particularly helpful statements about it right now.

Which seems more likely?
EDIT: Well, thank fuck for that - looks like it was a miss from the Ukrainian defence system.
And now it's dropped off the front page of the news sites - "Nearly Armageddon" isn't as important as the price of milk.

Understandable, really.
Doesn't really fit the narrative if you can't blame Russia for it.

At the time
both the Russians and the Ukrainians were making hysterical noise. I hate to be a 'both sides' kind of prick, but both sides' instinct was to dishonestly claim the event to fit their own agenda.

Well, yes, but only one side here is an invading aggressor
- run by an election-rigging personalty-cult dictator, making nuclear threats.

True.
Both sides appear quite eager to escalate, though. We do not want to blunder ourselves into world war 3.
Thank fuck there are cool heads prevailing in Poland. Imagine what the outcome could have been if the missiles had hit Hungary.

Yeah, it's hard to see how NATO can help any more without a massive escalation
