It should be noted that Burshtyn is home to a thermal power plant, which may have been the target of the strike.
Explosions were also reported in Vinnytsia. According to the Air Force, a high-speed target was heading toward the city, while monitoring channels suggested it could have been Zircon cruise missiles.

A critical infrastructure facility in the Vinnytsia region had been hit recently, with no casualties reported.
A minor acting as a Russian agent had been preparing an attack on the Burshtyn TPP and was detained by law enforcement.
