THIS is the dramatic moment that a Putin missile targeting Ukraine hits Russia instead – in an embarrassing multi-million-pound blunder.
The huge explosion reportedly plunged 540 homes in the Lipetsk region into darkness on Saturday, in a resulting blackout just miles from the warzone.

Horrifying dashcam footage shows the moment the wayward Kh-22 or Kh-32 smashed into the ground, throwing up debris and causing the car to swerve violently.
The video shows a massive fireball that is created as the weapon lands just feet from a public road in a wooded area.
Large chunks of rubble can be seen shooting upwards into the air as a result, and the videographer is forced to stop recording.
The explosion is thought to have caused a devastating blackout in the area.
Baza channel – with sources in law enforcement – reported: “Residents of a village in the Yeletsky district heard a loud explosion, after which their homes lost electricity, water, and in some places even mobile communications.”
The Lipetsk regional government, loyal to Vlad, tried to downplay the mistake despite experts waving them off.
They announced that the incident was the result of a “spent stage of an aviation missile system”.
This means that the missile was not in operation at the time of the explosion.
But other sources pointed out that the shape of the missile was distinctly seen – and a spent stage would not trigger such a massive explosion.
This embarrassing accident will be costly for Putin, as a Kh-22 costs around £1 million, while a more sophisticated Kh-32 is valued at an eye-watering £3.5 million.
These missiles have already been used by Putin in the war against Ukraine.
The explosion took place at a reported distance of 350 miles from the warzone.
No one is said to have been killed or injured in the explosion, though some property damage has been reported, according to a statement.
PUTIN’S HUMILIATIONS
Videos have shown Putin taking a few costly hits recently as the conflict rages on.
Footage from January 23 has shown Ukrainian forces blasting the Rostneft Oil Refinery in Ryazan with long-range kamikaze drones.
Towering flames and huge plumes of smoke could be seen rising from the site in footage shared on social media.
People ran from the scene as the inferno raged.
At least 20 drones targeted the Ryazan region, southeast of Moscow, overnight – striking the depot and a power station.
Ryazan oil refinery is one of the largest inRussiaand is critical for fuel supplies to Moscow.
What is happening between Russia and Ukraine?
RUSSIA and the Ukraine have remained technically at war since 2014.
Ukraine was aligned with Russia as part of the Soviet Union until its collapse in 1991, following which it became an independent state.
Both nations remained closely tied – but Ukraine gradually began to distance itself, seeking deeper ties with the West.
The open conflict was triggered by the Ukrainian Revolution in 2014 – when an uprising overthrew the pro-Russian government of Viktor Yanukovych.
Vladimir Putin’s forces reacted by annexing the region of Crimea from Ukraine – a move which was widely condemned by the West.
The conflict then spiralled when pro-Russian groups in Eastern Ukraine then took up arms against the state.
Russia gave their backing the separatist forces which formed breakaway republics in Donetsk and Luhansk.
Putin’s forces then launched a military incursion into these regions as they gave their support to the rebels.
Russia continues to hold Crimea – and claims the region joined them willingly after they a referendum.
Seven years have now passed and the War in Donbass remains at a stalemate.
It is estimated some 14,000 have been killed in the conflict, including more than 3,0o0 civilians.
Ukraine and the rebels signed a new ceasefire in July 2020 – but clashes have been steadily increasing again throughout 2021.
And in yet another unfortunate and costly error, hilarious footage shows a rookie soldier downing the £73,000 FPV before boasting about it in front of Russian state media.
The Belgorod territorial guard invited famous state media military correspondent Olga Kurlaeva to show how they guard their border region.
They are seen using their small arms to shoot at what they were convinced was a Ukrainian Furia aircraft-style reconnaissance drone.
After firing rounds of bullets, the drone can be seen falling down.
The Russian Captain who shot it down says: “We downed [a Ukrainian] Furia. A reconnaissance, aircraft-type drone was flying.”
Outrage soon followed when it was found that the drone was instead valuable Russian surveillance equipment.
One furious military correspondent posted: “The Belgorod men are so tough that they apparently committed friendly fire in front of the cameras.”
Red-faced Kurlaeva was forced to remove her post and delete the video.

GARDAI are investigating a pipe bomb attack at a house in Limerick city this morning.
Locals reported that the improvised device exploded with a loud bang after it landed in a rear garden of a house.
The blast occurred at near a property on Hyde Road, Ballinacurra Weston, Limerick, at around 4am.
Gardai suspect the attack is linked to an ongoing violent feud between rival groups on the southside of the city.
It’s the latest violent attack in the same area in just over a week and Garda sources said they fear people will be seriously maimed or killed if the feud continues.
On January 23 last, shots were fired at a male on Hyde Road at around 11pm. The intended target fortunately escaped injury.
A number of the individuals involved in the feuding have close connections to the Dundon/McCarthy crime group which was responsible for the murder of a number of men in the city.
Several people are before the courts charged with serious criminal offences that Gardai suspect are connected with the current feuding.
A number of other homes, as well as people, have been targeted in stabbings, drive-by gun attacks, petrol bombings and pipe bomb attacks as part of the feud.
A number of individuals involved have long-running links to criminal gangs involved in the sale and supply of drugs.
A number of children have been in the immediate vicinity of a number of the violent attacks, and cops have warned that youngsters could easily be injured, or worse, if the violence continues.
A Cork-based Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit (EOD), attached to the Defence Forces, which deals with the recovery of IEDs (improvised explosive devices), has been deployed to Limerick to deal with explosive materials left under cars as part of the feud.
However, cops did not request the assistance of the that unit following this morning’s incident as the device had already exploded.
A spokesperson said: “Gardai are investigating an alleged incident involving an explosive device at a domestic residence on Hyde Avenue, Ballinacurra Weston, Co. Limerick this morning, Sunday 2nd February 2025.”
“No injuries have been reported to Gardai.”
“Enquiries are ongoing.”
